hi pb hows things getting really hot in your neck of the woods, it is 45 days at least, it also starts from the day you buy your stock,so count 45 days on from that date. Of course you have to hold your stock, to at least the ex-divy date. I know it just common sense what I'm posting but you will be suprised how many people get it wrong.
"NOW" that also only goes if your getting more than $5,000 in div's a year. If your getting less than 5k all up a year in divy, you can buy even the day just before they go ex-div and sell as early as the ex.div's date... forget all other dates as they will just confuse you.. ON the ASX site it explains it all in full... but what I just told you is about all you really need. if you need further help you got my email address or just ring.
