Stocks Going Ex Dividend in July 202

    Please note that this is a sister publication of WallStreetNewsNetwork ( https://WStNN.com ) and postings will end on this site shortly.  

The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex dividend during the next month.

Many traders and investors use the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the strategy 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 in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the strategy 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 some with yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO)7/2/20210.372.79%
Gap, Inc. (GPS)7/6/20210.121.10%
WD-40 Company (WDFC)7/15/20210.721.13%
Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL)7/20/20210.452.21%
Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (LOW)7/20/20210.801.67%
Clorox Company (CLX)7/27/20211.162.69%
Hasbro, Inc. (HAS)7/30/20210.682.91%

Dividend definitions:

Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend.

Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend.

Record date: the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks at two business days before the record date.

Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date.

Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique.

MINIATURE ATM

All right, it’s not a real ATM. It’s basically a kid’s piggy bank, but instead of being in the shape of a pig, it is in the shape of a bank vault with keypads and everything. A unique gift for a child.

STOCK MARKET DECISION MAKER

If you can’t figure out which way the stock market is going, check out this desk paperweight stock market decision maker that might just tell you whether to buy, sell, short, hold, and so on. Makes a great icebreaker for visitors to your office.

SHOW THE WORLD THAT YOU TRADE WHILE YOU DRIVE

This is a chrome plastic license plate frame that proclaims that you would much rather be watching the stock market.

 

THANK YOU AMC STONK TO THE MOON STICKERS

Here are three stickers for those that made money from  AMC (AMC). Put them on your laptop, your front door, your car, your water bottle, your face, or wherever.

This Stock Market Genius coffee mug is great for braggarts.

 

WHAT GUY WOULDN’T WANT A THROW PILLOW?

This is a Buy the Fear, Sell the Greed throw pillow, great for punching or throwing if you make a trading mistake.

 

BULL AND BEAR BRONZE STATUE WITH A TWIST

You have probably seen several of this statues showing a bull and a bear. This one is a little different. The bull is goring the bear, and look at the bear’s expression.

Hopefully you can find some great unusual, weird, strange, investment related gifts for yourself, family, and friends.
