The Important Dates of a Dividend
There are four major dates in the process of a company paying dividends:


  • <LI itxtvisited="1">Declaration date– This is the date on which the board of directors announces to shareholders and the market as a whole that the company will pay a dividend. <LI itxtvisited="1">Ex-date or Ex-dividend date– On (or after) this date the security trades without its dividend. If you buy a dividend paying stock one day before the ex-dividend you will still get the dividend, but if you buy on the ex-dividend date, you won't get the dividend. Conversely, if you want to sell a stock and still receive a dividend that has been declared you need to sell on (or after) the ex-dividend day. The ex-date is the second business day before the date of record. <LI itxtvisited="1">Date of record– This is the date on which the company looks at its records to see who the shareholders of the company are. An investor must be listed as a holder of record to ensure the right of a dividend payout.
  • Date of payment (payable date) – This is the date the company mails out the dividend to the holder of record. This date is generally a week or more after the date of record so that the company has sufficient time to ensure that it accurately pays all those who are entitled.

$700 Billion American Taxpayer Dollars to go to Foreigners!
{New Video coming}
9/30/2008

That's correct, Brad Sherman (D-CA) was on Kudlow and explained to the world that the $700 Billion wasn't meant for the US, it was meant for foreign aid.

Are you on the phones to your congressmen yet??? More will be coming shortly; just remember, use House.Gov and Senate.Gov to find your Congressmen and Senators...
"Paulson and Bush threatened to veto the legislation if there was an explicit prohibition of transfers from foreign banks to an American subsidiary."
​
THE ASSETS DO NOT EVEN HAVE TO BE AMERICAN MORTGAGE ASSETS - THEY CAN BE AN OFFICE TOWER IN SHANGHAI!

YOU ARE GOING TO GET FLEECED FOR HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IF THIS BILL PASSES - THAT MONEY IS GOING TO GO IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE COUNTRY!

SEC. 112. COORDINATION WITH FOREIGN AUTHORITIES AND CENTRAL BANKS.
The Secretary shall coordinate, as appropriate, with foreign financial authorities and central banks to work toward the establishment of similar programs by such authorities and central banks. To the extent that such foreign financial authorities or banks hold troubled assets as a result of extending financing to financial institutions that have failed or defaulted on such financing, such troubled assets qualify for purchase under section 101.

People don't realize this is just the next step of turning this country into another socialist state, big brother contolling everything, housing, banking, wealth re-distribution, re-financing almost everyone groups retirement plan (that was in the failed bailout bill) and socialized medicine, just to name a few. And I'm sick and tired of the finger pointing that the Reps were the cause. the bailout vote only fell 12 votes short and 97 Dems voted against it, so everyone can take credit for the failure.

Socialist supported the bailout as it was while, the rest of us wanted, for one thing, to punish those who got us in this mess, not put them in charge, plus we need to determine how we got in this mess before we rush out and throw more money at the problem. Some of us just want it done right and the track record of our politicians sure to heck doesn't give me any re-assurance that they can come up with the right solution, much less a a decent one in such a short period of time. Throwing money at a problem doesn't solve the problem, just look at education.

Our children are going to be saddled with a tremendous debt load with a socialistic leader if the media and fellow libverals have their way. If this finanacial mess is so bad, then $700 Billion ain't going to come near solving the problem and Wall Street will be back for more handout. This is from Bill Gross of PIMCO, but common sense from just the pasr few months of throwing billions at this is enough for me and we're going to do it again. :nuts:

This is a game of poker and Wall street is playing it against a bunch of nimrods. Harry reid said that they were trying to craft a new bailout bill that will be acceptable to his fellow representatives, but NO mention of crafting one acceptable to main street... WTF is this... SOCIALISM.

Regardless, of whether the bailout passes and one will pass, we are in for some rough times.

Sorry Show-me for ranting here in your home and I'm starting to ramble. I'm just so frustrated I could spit nails.

NO ON THE BAIL OUT! NO TO BAILING OUT FOREIGN BANKS! NO PRIVATIZED PROFITS AND SOCIALIZED LOSSES!

Shut down any bail out of the financial sector or foreign banks. I do not approve of these policies and I will vote any incumbent out of office if you spend one dime of U.S. tax payer money to any foreign investors or Wall Street.

Our nation has been feed the addictive "credit" drug and it is time to quit cold turkey. Our government can not operate without a deficit and the government should lead by example. NO MORE OPERATING ON CREDIT! Shut down the pork barrel spending, parks and recreation, and all non-essential operation. Implement a "FairTax" and shutter the IRS. Put our troops out of all conflicts, stop all foreign aid. NO MONEY LEAVES OUR SHORES.

Our landfills are full of junk people did not need, but wanted and bought on credit. STOP THIS NOW!

Just like the "economic stimulus" check you all sent out, the No Banker Left Behind bail out money will evaporate into thin air. DO NOT USE MY MONEY TO BUY BAD DEBT, FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC, OR MY VOTE WILL BE LOUD AND CLEARLY AGAINST YOU.

I did not trust the Congress to do anything right. I may leave some profit on the table or I may not, but 13.1% gain over two days in nothing to leave on the table with this volatile action. SELL, SELL, SELL!
 
Was there a test of the 10 year Bond today at 2:22 PM EST - read this below and there is a link. Was this a live test today right on the F Fund. In my opinion the charts say yes because the volume stopped right at that time then resumed. This information is for a 30 year below but something happened at 2:22 PM on October 1, 2008 that was more than odd !!!

The bailout of Wall Street may not have ultimate costs as high as the nominal bailout amount, but the interest payments on the debt will come due immediately, and the recoveries from Wall Street, if any, will take many years.
The impact of the bailout which will surely happen in one form or the other, will impact taxes, interest rates, the exchange rate of the Dollar, imports and exports, foreign direct investment both in and out of the US, corporate sales and profits, and a long list of economic and investment dimensions too long to mention and to unknowable to predict.
You can bet that your investments will be heavily impacted — fixed income (proxies AGG and IEF), domestic equities (proxies SPY and VTI), international equities (proxies EFA and EEM), real estate (proxy VNQ), commodities (proxies DJP, USO and GLD), currencies (proxies UUP and UDN) and other types of investments will all be impacted.
It’s too soon for us to come up with investment or disinvestment recommendations we’re willing to publish. However, one big factor in how things play out is the size of the tab for the bailout on a per investor basis.
We’ve noodled some costs we’d like to share with you here.
Per Taxpayer Annual Costs:
Who will pay how much and for how long for the bailout?
With the assumptions below, how much would taxpayers in each bracket have to pay per year for 30 years to support the debt service on the bonds issued for the bailout, assuming 30-year amortization of a sinking fund?
  • <LI _extended="true">if the total bailout is $1 trillion (the prior $300 billion already paid out, plus the $700 billion proposed to be paid out), <LI _extended="true">and if the money is borrowed by the US using 30-year Treasury bonds, <LI _extended="true">and if the interest rate is the 4.13% rate for 30-yr bonds today <LI _extended="true">and if taxpayers are burdened to the same degree that they currently pay taxes
  • then WOW!
The annual cost per average taxpayer is $439, but the distribution among income segments is tremendously skewed.
The bill for the top 1% of taxpayers is a shocking $173,000 per year. The annual bill for the bottom 50% of taxpayers is an easy $27

This was my post on the F Fund thread but since most people I have spoken to believe there was a live test perfomed during trading hours to see what impact this bailout would have on the 10 year note and the volume suggests for a few minutes the AGG - F Fund was under a testing procedure.
 
What to do, what to do. Waiting on the ECB rate decision.

Sitting in the I fund waiting for the House to vote on the No Banker Left Behind Bill.
 
What does the jobs report really mean? Nothing, it is become more inaccurate every month. Congress is on deck and I fully expect them to screw this up. USD is in a double top and I hope it goes down. Silver is very low and I want some, but got burned the last time I wanted it.
 
I'm sitting on a ton of cash and waiting for a good high probability trade. I am almost ready to buy KOL for a bounce. I am struggling right now in premarket, trying to stop myself as the House is 400 plus strong and all with individual agendas every two year.
