GGN ex dividend date tomorrow

    Posted by matt on 12th of Jun 2012 at 10:11 pm

    GGN - Chart Link - GGN is a closed end gold fund, it pays about a 10 - 11% dividend and what's nice is that it plays monthly, or 0.14 cents.  The management sells covered calls against their long positions and pay this in a monthly dividend.  Obviously it took a hit in May with the weakness in gold, however it's near some support.  

    Tomorrow is the ex dividend date, so if you own it tomorrow you will get the dividend.  

    GGN - Chart Link - here's a 60 min view, some gap areas are noted in yellow.

    Chartwise I'm not that in love with it, but it's OK as long as it can hold the trendline on the daily chart, also keep an eye on the 60 min chart. I'll probably take a position tomorrow.

    yes I believe you are correct Lamb:

    definition of ex-dividend: The first day of the ex-dividend period. The ex-dividend date was created to allow all pending transactions to be completed before the record date. If an investor does not own the stockbefore the ex-dividend date, he or she will be ineligible for thedividend payout.


    Yes guys you are correct

    Yes guys you are correct regarding GGN, yesterday was the last day you had to own it so that you could receive the dividend, sorry about that, I had a brain fart last night I guess.  Anyway no big deal, the stock pays monthly and honestly I'm not that in love with the chart yet, I would like it a lot move if it actually made a slight new low or a better base.  We have another month yet to let the pattern mature out, the next ex-dividend date is July 14th I think, remember it pays monthly, so you just have to own it before then

    See what happens now that
