A record date is the date on which you must be officially listed as a stockholder of a company in order to receive a declared dividend or be eligible to vote at a company's annual or special meeting.
Ex-dividend periods are set by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). An ex-dividend period begins a few days prior to the record date for a dividend payment. When shares are purchased "ex-dividend," the seller of the shares, not the purchaser, is entitled to receive the next dividend payment.
Securities held in the name of a broker for the client are said to be carried in "street name." This occurs when the customer wishes the security to be held by the broker. Collection of dividends is performed by the broker and credited to the client's account.
Book-entry form is registered ownership of stock without the issuance of a corresponding stock certificate, as is the case with dividend reinvestment and direct purchase plans, employee plans and "Direct Registration System" issuances. Periodic statements of ownership are issued instead of certificates.
The difference between the purchase price and the selling price of a security is referred to as a capital gain or loss.
