| Earnings are computed at the end of the quarter.
The dividends committee meets.
The dividend and date of record is declared.
The date of record is reached.
Shareholders on that day are paid a few days later.

| Look into an S&P stock guide. They'll list the Dividend record date for the
past couple of years for each company and that should give you an idea of
when they normally do declare and payout the dividends.
As always, past performance is no guarantee of future results ;^)

| 267.5 | ex div? | EPS::REED_R | | Wed Aug 26 1992 08:36 | 4 |

Does "ex dividend" mean after the dividend record date or
after the date the dividend was paid?

| RE: .6 The "Ex-Dividend" date is the first day the underlying stock
trades without the right to receive the latest dividend accruing to the
owner of record. I believe the dividend record date is 5 days after
the "EX-D" date. This allows for trades occuring up through the day
prior to "EX-D" to be recorded so dividends are payed to their rightful
owners. So, "ex dividend" means after the dividend record date only
when you back-up five days!
