Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On October 10, 2013

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

In total, 54 stocks go ex dividend - of which 30 yield more than 3 percent. Here is a full list of all stocks with ex-dividend date within the current week.
