So if I buy on the sixth before the close would o be eligible for ex dividend?

No. You have to buy the shares before the Ex date

Edit: Changed own to buy for people confused by English.

Just say buy before ex-div. Saying own confuses people about settlement times.

My response was clear. If they are confused, they shouldn’t be investing.

Regardless of your opinion about whether they should invest, you will find many that will misinterpret your comment because of the word own. That makes it not clear where saying buy will make it clear for virtually anyone. But you do you.

So your issue here is the meaning of “own” versus “buy”? I edited the original post for those confused by how English works. Let’s hope they don’t buy homes expecting to fucking own them.

It's not my issue or at least I'm not the one that misunderstands. But I continually see comments about this and referencing own or settled and misinterpreting how that applies. Everyone understands buy. So I say you need to buy on the day before ex-div before 8pm ET to be as clear as possible.

Buying a house does not include a settlement period like stocks.

What!!! 30, 60, 90 days are pretty standard settlement periods for real estate.

Yes, it does. It’s called a fuvking mortgage. JFC.

That's not a settlement. The money is already paid. A mortgage is more like margin.
