Stocks Going Ex Dividend in April 2023

The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex dividend during the next month.

Many traders and investors use the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the strategy of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend.

This technique generally works in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, but during bear markets, you may want to consider avoiding this strategy. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until on or after the ex date.

The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks.

WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million. Some of the stocks have yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount, and the annual yield.

Comcast Corporation (CMCSA)4/4/20230.293.18%
American Express Company (AXP)4/5/20230.601.51%

How to Invest in Apple Without Buying Apple Stock Plus Get Free Diversification

by Fred Fuld III

Apple (AAPL) has dropped about 18.7% from its high over the last several months. If you think the stock has bottomed out, and may be on the rise, there is an alternative to just buying the stock outright.

No, I’m not talking about stock options. What I’m referring to is Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) (BRK-B). Do you realize that Apple makes up 47.6% of the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio?

So if you buy Berkshire, that means that almost half your funds are indirectly invested in Apple.

So what else do you get when you buy Berkshire, besides Warren Buffett’s expertise?

Here are some of the other stocks that make up a large portion of the portfolio:

Bank of America (BAC) 13.5%

American Express (AXP) 7.5%

Coca-Cola (KO) 7.2%

Kraft Heinz (KHC) 3.5%

Moodys (MCO) 2.9%

There are actually over 40 stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio, spread out over a lot of different industries, so it is well diversified.

I’m not recommending Berkshire as an investment because I think the bear market will continue (and I never make any stock recommendations anyway), but if you are bullish on Apple and you don’t mind a little stock market diversification, you might want to take a look at Berkshire, if not now then at some point when you believe the market has bottomed out.

Stocks Going Ex Dividend in April 2020

Special Note: I normally don’t recommend the buying dividend technique during bear markets, which we are currently in. However, opportunities occasionally crop up. An example would be Vail Resorts (MTN) which went ex dividend on March 25, paying a dividend of $1.76 per share. You could have bought the stock the day before on March 24 for 142 per share and sold it the next day, the ex dividend day, for 152 per share, making a $10 per share profit on the stock and capturing the $1.76 per share dividend. (The stock actually traded as high as 163 on the ex dividend day.) I consider this a rare situation, especially in this market, so I still don’t recommend this strategy at this time.

Warren Buffett Sold 750,000 Shares of Apple, But It’s Still His Largest Holding

by Fred Fuld III

Famous investor and multi-billionaire Warren Buffett has sold over 750,000 shares of Apple (AAPL) during the latest reported quarter, however it is still the largest holding in his Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) (BRKB) stock portfolio.

As a matter of fact, Apple makes up 26% of the Berkshire portfolio. He probably didn’t want to get too overweighted in the stock. He first started buying Apple shares near the beginning of 2016 at an average cost of about 150 per share.

Buffett also dumped shares of another stock, Wells Fargo (WFC). He liquidated over 31 million shares of the company, so now the stock makes up less than 9% of the Berkshire portfolio.

The Oracle of Omaha made no changes to the second and third largest holdings, Bank of America (BAC), and Coca-Cola (KO). Same with the fifth largest, American Express (AXP).

It is interesting to note that the above five mentioned stocks make up over 65% of the total Berkshire Hathaway stock portfolio.

How to Triple Dip Your Rewards Points

by Fred Fuld III

It’s nice that you get cash back or rewards points when you use your credit card. It’s also great when you can get rewards from the company you make purchases from. It’s like double dipping.

But wouldn’t it be great if you could triple dip. How would you like to receive free stock in the companies that you buy from? Well now it’s possible.

There is a company called Bumped, which allows you to have a percentage of your purchase go towards fractional shares of stock in those companies. The percentage isn’t a lot but it adds up over time.

For example, if you buy rom Starbucks (SBUX), you get 2% of your purchase price going towards the company’s stock. If you buy from ExxonMobil (XOM), you get 0.5%. The range goes all the way up to 3% defending on the type of business.

Here are the categories and their percentages:

  • Coffee  2%
  • Gas/Convenience Stores  0.5%
  • Entertainment  2%
  • Family Dining  2%
  • Personal Care  1%
  • Quick Eats  3%
  • Vineyards  1%

So, for example, if I buy food and a beverage at Starbucks, and I pay with my cash back American Express (AXP) card, I will get the cash back bonus from AmEx at the end of the month. Plus, if I’m a member of the Starbucks rewards program, I get those benefits. Finally, if I have linked my AmEx card to Bumped, I get 2% of my purchase applied to the Starbucks stock.

There are a wide range of companies that are participating in this program. Just in the Quick Eats category alone, there is:

  • Burger King
  • Chipotle (CMG)
  • Jamba Juice
  • McDonalds (MCD)
  • Subway

Now you may ask, what about the private companies that are listed, such as Jamba Juice and Subway? Well, if you purchase from Jamba Juice, your 3% is applied towards the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF (VTI).

So when I bought a Jamba Juice recently, I got cash back on my AmEx card, I got more Jamba Juice  points since I’m a member of their rewards program, and I got 3% of my purchase automatically invested in VTI.

Other companies that are part of the program include Peet’s Coffee, BP (BP), Chevron (CVX), Shell (RDSA), Netflix (NFLX), Spotify (SPOT), Lyft (LYFT), Uber (UBER), plus several restaurants and other businesses.

Unfortunately, there is a waiting list for Bumped, (they don’t want to get overwhelmed as they are growing) but once they notify you that you are eligible, you can jump on the triple dip bandwagon.
