Ohmygosh today is the ex dividends date. I shouldve checked the stocks weekly but that is such a hassle. I dont know if there is an app to alert of dividends. I know the US has and that using Apple iphone but I dont know about the Philippines. If only I know how to develop such an app LOL. I went home for a while had my lunch and will be taking some rest. I feel bummed out for missing that opportunity. But that is just money. I have losses that are worth more than all the money in the world... well so to speak.

Sorry you missed out on the dividend. But of course, you should never buy a stock only for any dividend, but for its future potential value and strength as a company. Either way, yes. Need to check those ex-dividend dates. Don't forget, though, that when dividends are paid, the value of the shares drops equal to the value of the dividend.

@yoalldudes It would be better, perhaps, to simply invest in good solid companies that will stand the test of time, and both offer dividends over and over again consistently as well as grow in value over time.

@porwest This one is a very good company but I think I took profits and forgot to buy again. It is not a high yield dividend stock but they gave this stock dividend out of nowhere LOL.

I'm asking a friend to refer an app developer for me to alert me on stock and cash dividends.

You can buy the stock ex-dividend, the stock always goes down after they pay the dividend. You will get the next time.
