You can sell the stock whenever you want, but you need to own it on the date of record to get a dividend. That means you need to buy it BEFORE the ex-dividend date.

Can you sell the stock after ex dividend date or after record date?
if you sell shares on ex div. date,before the record do you still receive the dividend
If an investor buys stock on the ex-dividend date will that individual receive the dividend?
No, the definition of ex-dividend date is trading without the dividend. Any stock purchased "ex-dividend" date is not entitled to the dividend. AND equally as importantly OFFSETTING this - is the insatnt that happens the stock price is reduced by the amiunt of the dividend being paid. NO you cannot "steal" a dividend - that is buy it the day before the divideden gets paid (or ownership date actually) - and sell the day after - all you do is get the dividend and the equally lower stock value.

When must you buy a stock in order to receive it's dividend?
When considering a dividend while purchasing securities there are several dates that are very important. These dates include the declaration date, ex-dividend date, record date, and payable date. First, lets define these dates...Declaration Date - The date on which the company declares it's dividendEx-Dividend Date - The date on which purchasing the security no longer includes it's dividendRecord Date - The date on which you must be registered on the company's books to still receive the dividendPayable Date - The date on which you actually receive the dividendAn Example of how these dates might look on a calendar:March 3rd declaration dateMarch 18th ex-dividend dateMarch 20th record dateApril 10th payable dateThe confusion and mistakes often occur when not accounting for settlement time on an investment. You do not own a stock on the company's books until your purchase has settled. When purchasing a stock, settlement starts on the trade date and takes three business days. Because of this fact the ex-dividend date (or first day stock trades without it's dividend) is two business days before the record date. This allows the stock that is purchased the day before the ex-dividend just enough time to settle on the record date entitling the investor to the dividend.On the other hand, an investor can sell a stock on the ex-dividend date and still be paid it's dividend regardless of if they own the stock on the day it's actually paid.For more information see Related Links for an explanation from the SEC

There are 10,000shares of stock outstanding.12/1 Dr / Retained Earnings 20,000Cr/ Dividends Payable 20,000Review dividend terminology. The "declaration date" is the date the board approves the dividend payout. The "date of record" is the date which establishes the stockholders to receive the dividend; that is, if you sell the stock one day before the day of record, you will not receive the dividend. The "effective date" is the day the dividend is disbursed to shareholders.Walk through an example. XYZ Corporation has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding. On Nov. 10, the board of directors declared a $1 per share cash dividend, to be paid to stockholders of record on Nov. 30. The dividend was distributed on Dec. 10.Record the dividend journal entry on the day of record, which is Nov. 30. Make a debit to retained earnings for $10,000 ($1 x 10,000 shares) and a credit to dividends payable for $10,000. This is what the company issuing the dividend enters on the date of distribution.Use a contra account to hold funds until the distribution date. In some cases, the company will want to create a contra (side) account to hold the dividends until they are actually paid. If this is this the case, then make a debit to dividends declared and then close the balance to retained earnings on the effective (distribution) date.
