Stocks Going Ex Dividend the First Week of September

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called 'Buying Dividends,' also commonly referred to as 'Dividend Capture.' This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend. This technique generally works only in bull markets, and can work in flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the technique during bear markets.

In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can't sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks.

WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, and the yield.

Recent Purchases of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway

Recently, the Forbes 400 issue hit the newsstands and mailboxes, reporting that Warren Buffett, head of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) (BRK-B), is the second richest person in America, with a net worth of $58.5 billion. (Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft (MSFT) was in first place.)

When Warren Buffett invests, investors listen. Many investors like to follow in Warren Buffett's footsteps. The way to do that is to see what Buffett is buying. During the second quarter of this year, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway made only two purchases, Suncor Energy (SU) and Dish Network (DISH).

Dish Network is a provider of direct broadcast satellite subscription television services. The stock trades at 85 times trailing earnings and 24 times forward earnings. The company generated earnings of 56 cents a share for the latest reported quarter, versus a loss for the same quarter a year ago. Revenues for the latest quarter were up 1.0%. The next earnings announcement is November 4. It has $9.53 billion in cash, which works out to over $20 in cash per share. However, the company does carry debt in the amount of $14.17 billion.

Suncor is a Calgary, Alberta, Canada based integrated energy company which targets petroleum reserves in the Athabasca oil sands. The stock trades at eleven times forward earnings and 1.37 times sales. The stock yields 2.2% and has increased its dividend paid out each year since 2008.
