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.


Is the tax point for cgt the trade date or the settlement date?

Securities traded on established market. For securities traded on an established securities market, your holding period begins the day after the trade date you bought the securities, and ends on the trade date you sold them.Do not confuse the trade date with the settlement date, which is the date by which the stock must be delivered and payment must be made.Example.You are a cash method, calendar year taxpayer. You sold stock at a gain on December 29, 2009. According to the rules of the stock exchange, the sale was closed by delivery of the stock 3 trading days after the sale, on January 4, 2010. You received payment of the sales price on that same day. Report your gain on your 2009 return, even though you received the payment in 2010. The gain is long term or short term depending on whether you held the stock more than 1 year. Your holding period ended on December 29. If you had sold the stock at a loss, you would also report it on your 2009 return.For more information go to the IRS Government website and use the search box for Publication 17 go to chapter 14


What is the last day you can sell your stock and still report the gain or loss in the current year?

When determining what year you sold your stock, the trade date is what matters. This is the day the transaction took place on the stock exchange. If you contact your broker on the last trading day of the year, you can complete a sale in the current year if your broker executes the trade that day. On major exchanges, the last trading day is December 31 unless that day falls on a weekend.

How is a company's stock price calculated daily?

A company's stock price is not "calculated." At the end of the day it merely represents the exact price at which the last transaction took place. The last price of the day is the price of last share or shares that exchanged hands between an buyer and a seller before the 4pm ET close M-F. The price of a company's stock during the day before the 4pm ET close is just the price at which the last transaction took place at that exact moment in time. There is no calculation ever.


In the stock market what does it mean when a stock fills the gap?

Sometimes a stock will open at a much higher or lower price than the previous trading day. Furthermore, the stock will not trade as low or as high as the highest or lowest price from that previous trading day. In this case, a gap has been created (the stock did not trade in a price range that falls in between the high and low prices between two days). A stock fills the gap when it trades to that first day's highest (or lowest) price on a day after the second trading day (the day that created the gap). Some stock market traders have a theory (or superstition) that a stock must always 'fill the gap' at some point later in its trading history.
