Stocks Going Ex Dividend in December 2024

The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex-dividend during the next month, which can be helpful for traders and investors interested in the stock trading technique known as “Buying Dividends” or “Dividend Capture.” This strategy involves purchasing stocks before the ex dividend date and selling them shortly after the ex-date at a similar price, while still being eligible to receive the dividend payment.

Although this technique generally proves effective in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, it is advisable to exercise caution and consider avoiding this strategy during bear markets. To qualify for the dividend, it is necessary to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date and refrain from selling it until on or after the ex-date.

However, it is important to note that the actual dividend may not be paid for several weeks, as the payment date can be delayed by up to two months after the ex-date.

by Fred Fuld III

A convertible bond is a bond that can be converted into a fixed number of shares of stock in the company that issued the bond.

The advantages of convertible bonds

It pays a fixed income, unlike a stock which can lower or eliminate a dividend.
If the company goes out of business, the bondholders get paid off before the stockholders.
The bond has growth potential because of the conversion factor into shares of stock.

The disadvantages of convertible bonds

They are illiquid, with most not traded on any exchange.
They are hard to find and not all brokers carry them.

Companies that issue convertible bonds

Tesla (TSLA)
Nio (NIO)
Zillow Group (Z)
Square (SQ)
Snap (SNAP)
Microchip Technology (MCHP)

Now try going to your broker’s website or try calling them and ask what the quote is on the Tesla 2% convertible bond. Good luck.

Convertible Bond ETFs
