The ex-dividend date for the above dividend declaration is August 6, 2007. On (or after) this date, the security will trade without its dividend. If you buy the dividend paying stock one day before the ex-dividend date you will still get the dividend, but if you buy on the ex-dividend date or after you will not get the dividend. The ex-dividend date is the second business day before the date of record. The ex-dividend date is important because ownership takes a few days to record.
