How do you find good stocks with the best monthly or quarterly dividends?

How can you trade stocks so you buy it in time to obtain the dividend, but make money and sell it too? Or are dividend stocks better to hold and get income? What are some good stocks to buy?

   There a re very good questions in your post TradeJewel

   The ex-dividend date (abbrev xd or ex-div) is the first date when buying a stock does not entitle the new buyer to the declared dividend, as the transfer of stock ownership cannot be completed before the company initiates dividend payment. Before this date, the stock trades cum-dividend.

   With every dividend declaration, the company also announces an associated record date and a payment date. The record date is when the company initiates the payments to shareholders of record; the payment date is when the company expects the payment process to complete. Sometimes the difference between the two dates can be substantial.

   I suggest you consider dividend investments as a longer term trade if you want to benefit fully from the dividends.

   I also suggest you learn more about it by signing up to the free membership site of http://www.InvestorRules.com

   Enjoy
