and on the 6th (ex-day) our stock will open up 2 cents lower than the close of the previous day

and that is what happened today

---just for clarification (my appologies to the board here) I am not asking about buying today for the divy (and then selling).. I am assuming those that bought just for the divy did so yesterday or before.. My original question (which you answered no to, link below) was, are those that sold today, sill qualified for the divy payment.  And the answer is yes... thank you
