Don't Miss These 8 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Going Ex-Dividend This Friday
Dividend Alert!
For dividend investors, few events are more eagerly anticipated than the arrival of fresh ex-dividend dates. These present a prime opportunity to load up on shares and secure steady income streams for the quarters ahead.
Next week brings a flurry of marquee names across major sectors splitting off their next payouts. From banking giants like JPMorgan Chase to defensive plays like Bristol-Myers Squibb, the lineup covers a wide range of dividend-capturing opportunities.
Of course, proper timing is critical. To qualify for a company's upcoming dividend, you must purchase shares before the ex-dividend date. Buy on or after that date, and the dividend goes to the stock's seller - not you.

Did Joe Biden just reveal his replacement?
I am writing to alert you of a disturbing plan to rig the 2024 presidential election that has just been uncovered.
This is not a conspiracy theory - in fact, Joe Biden himself may have just revealed the plot.
The Democrats are scheming to remove Biden as their presidential nominee…
And they may replace him with a shadow candidate that they have hand-selected to beat Donald Trump.
Get this - Biden just accidentally hinted at who his replacement will be.
The man the Dem Swamp plans to nominate is dumber… more dangerous… and more easily manipulated than even Joe Biden.
Not only is our country - and democracy as a whole - at stake here.
So are your finances.
This dangerous plot to rig the election will have drastic economic consequences.
That’s exactly why you can not sit back.
You need to take action and protect yourself immediately - because any day now, the Democrats could make their plan public…
And absolute chaos will ensue.
Sincerely,
Jim Rickards
