Q&A by Don Bright BLOGGING ABOUT DIVIDENDS Basic question about dividends. How do they work? I have $2,000 to invest and I was wondering how the dividend yield relates to how much I am going to get. Do I get the dividend each month or quarter? Thanks—Anonymous If a stock has a declared dividend, it will have an “ex-dividend” date, which means that if you own the stock the night before this declared date, you will be paid the dividend amount multiplied by the number of shares you own. The payment will come in a couple weeks after the ex-date.
