TOPIC Trackyon.Invest SHORT DESCRIPTION Helps investors capture dividends by returning all the stocks that will go ex-dividend in the next five trading days and the last opportunity to purchase. LONG DESCRIPTION The returned stocks will also contain a purchase by property. This the last day to purchase the shares and qualify to collect the dividend. Typically this is the day before the ex-dividend date. However, if the ex-dividend date is a Monday your purchase by date is the previous Friday. The purchase by date also checks for holidays where the markets will be closed. For example if the ex-dividend date is a Friday but Thursday is Thanksgiving your purchase by date is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
