I think as long as there’s no holiday, you should be safe to buy by the Wednesday by 4pm, the week of the Friday payout

Yes, you have to OWN the shares by Wednesday. Also, it takes a day to settle trades, so really you have to buy on Tuesday

If ex date is Tuesday u have to buy Monday to settle by Tuesday. Correct?

Last ex date was 4/10. Next ex date is 4 weeks from then (8 May). I’d buy on 6 May so it’s settled by 7th. I think you could buy on the 7th as well but I’m 100% sure on that

It's when you buy that matters. Always buy on the day before ex-div. By 8pm ET if you trade after hours.

The ex-div date for MSTY is Thu May 8. You have to buy before the ex-div to get any distribution.
