If the cheque has not been cashed or the bank account has not been credited, then the owner of the shares (or the estate of the owner) should write to the "registrars" for the shares of the company in question, providing them with all the details and asking them to investigate what has happened.

When a stock splits does the dividend go down?
Yes and no. Here's an example to illustrate: Let's say that you own 100 shares of XYZ Corp., which pays 50¢ per share in dividends. That means that you get $50 in dividends for your 100 shares. Now the stock splits 2-for-1. You now have 200 shares of XYZ Corp., but the dividend is now 25¢ per share. However, your total dividend for the amount of stock you own is still $50.
How many days you have to hold the shares to get a dividned?
There is no minimum or maximum number of days to hold the shares, you will receive any due dividends provided your name is 'on the register' of shareholders on the date set by the company paying the dividend, you need to buy the shares a few days in advance of this date before they go 'ex dividend' the ex dividend date is usually at least two working days before the register date to allow the keepers of the register to ensure it is up to date and the dividends are paid correctly.
Why stocks with high dividend yield are less likely to be shorted?
An investor selling stock short has to first borrow the stock from his brokerage house. Brokerage houses in this lending process are effectively crating additional to an original float shares. Since the numbers of shares increases and companies pay dividends on the number of shares they issued - and not the additional shares created by lending and shorting, the holders of short positions are responsible for additional dividend payments. The amounts equal to dividends paid on the number of shares they are short is withdrawn from their accounts. Thus, the dividend paying stock has to go down more then the amount of dividends in a given time for a short-position holder to be profitable.
How do you compute value of preferred stock?
You can check with a stock broker and ask for a quote on the price of a preferred stock. A preferred stock pays a fixed dividend. The dividend does not go up. It does not go down. Some times when business is bad and the company does not make a profit, the company fails to pay the dividend. If the stock is non cumulative, the dividend is simply skipped. If it is cumulative, then it is paid if the company makes money. When there is money, the preferred dividend is paid first. The stock may or may not be convertible. If it is convertible, it can be exchanged for common stock if the value of the common becomes higher than that of the preferred. The preferred percentage is based on the value printed on the face of the stock. It may be $100 or $1000. Thus if it is 5% of 1,000 the dividend is $50. All that is simply to say a number of factors go into calculating the value of preferred. How stable is the company. Will it pay the dividend. How does the dividend compare to the same amount of money invested in government securities? Is the preferred convertible? Of corse preferred are usually voting shares just like common shares. If there is a proxy fight then that can also affect the value.
Difference between cum dividend share and ex dividend share?
Cum-dividend (CD) comes before Ex-dividend (XD). A stock is said to be CD indicates that the company is paying out dividend in the near future which serves like a preempt notice to investors. The company would have announced the amount of dividend to be paid out but has yet to. If the shareholder sells a CD stock, he/she is not entitled to the dividend. There has to be a cut off date that the company has to set, so as to confirm the list of shareholders to receive dividend. When the list is finalized, the stock is said to go XD. Once XD status is declared, the shareholder who sells his/her shares will still be entitled the dividends, while the new owner will not.
Why does your NAV go down when your Mutual fund pays a dividend?
The cash the fund uses to pay the dividend is considered an asset of the investment trust. Before it is paid out, that value is added to the value of the stocks/bonds held to calculate the NAV. Once the money is paid out, it is no longer counted as part of the investment trust, thus the NAV goes down by the amount of the dividend. Example. Mutual fund A has $100 worth of stock, $50 in cash and 100 shares outstanding. It's NAV is $1.50. It pays a total dividend of $50. So now the fund has $100 worth of stock, no cash, and 100 shares outstanding. It's NAV will be $1.00.

Does stock that pays special dividend always go down by the amount of the dividend?
The ex-dividend date is the day after which all shares bought and sold no longer come attached with the right to be paid the most recently declared dividend. This is an important date for any company that has many stockholders, including those that trade on exchanges, as it makes reconciliation of who is to be paid the dividend easier. Prior to this date, the stock is said to be cum dividend ('with dividend'): existing holders of the stock and anyone who buys it will receive the dividend, whereas any holders selling the stock lose their right to the dividend. On and after this date the stock becomes ex dividend: existing holders of the stock will receive the dividend even if they now sell the stock, whereas anyone who now buys the stock now will not receive the dividend. It is relatively common for a stock's price to decrease on the ex-dividend date by an amount roughly equal to the dividend paid. This reflects the decrease in the company's assets resulting from the declaration of the dividend. However it must be emphasised that there is no direct link between the price and the dividend, this price movement is simply a result of market action. To sum up the date a dividend is paid is not the date a stock usually goes down but rather the date that the stock purchase no longer includes the dividend. This in no way is a guarentee a stock could be up considerably that day based on market conditions and a number of other things even with the downward pressure of no longer being able to receive that dividend.
