The ex date is basically the cut off date u will be entitled to the dividen, i.e. eg, above,
If u buy the stock, Dialog before Ex date : 10Jun09 and still holding the share before the X date, then u will b entitled to the dividen announced. If u buy the stock on or after the X date, u will not entitle to any dividen.
The dividen u received will b sent to u on the payment date announced (+- 2 days) if yr ac is a personnal ac. If it is a nominee acc it will b sent to the securities firm to be credited to yr trust ac.
The share price will normally adjusted down on the X date itself. The movement of the share price is then subjected to market sentiment again.
You must keep the dividen slips for you to claim rebate later from income tax. Normally if you do not have maximum tax then it will be worth else it will be nothing.
