NEWBIE QUESTIONS ABOUT DATES, DIVIDENDS AND MUTUAL FUNDS. (THANKS IN ADVANCE)?

1) Is the ex-dividend date for mutual supports tangible otherwise than for particular stocks?

2) On the Yahoo Finance draft for mutual account (TWEIX), it states which 3/13/07 was the “ex-div date” if we float your rodent over the small division idol upon the chart.

I suspicion which the ex-dividend date was the FIRST day of the 2 ~ 3 commercial operation day duration BEFORE the jot down date NOT the remuneration date (which is customarily multiform days AFTER the jot down date), right?

I own shares of which account (pseudo dog) as well as I was paid the $0.022 dividends/share upon 3/13/07 which the draft settled as being the ex-div date? Is the draft only perplexing to prove the little sort of placement happened upon 3/13/07?

3) Is the great time to buy some-more shares of the account right AFTER the placement (ignore collateral gains in December for now)? The NAV drops as well as we can get some-more shares for your dollar w/o profitable taxes?

4) Does the NAV dump by the EXACT volume as the dividend? When does it drop? Before, upon or after the remuneration date?
Bhau:

Thanks for the response. Not to kick the passed equine but:

1) Ok.

2) So have been we observant that: ex-dividend rate = jot down date = remuneration date? If so than the ex-dividend date does not meant the initial day of the 2~3 commercial operation day duration BEFORE the jot down date as it meant for particular stocks. So subject (1) would be no.

3) True. But all is after the actuality so during slightest during this time we know which the NAV will dump for sure.

4) Is which loyal for both mutual supports as well as bonds (common as well as preferred)? Yes, I suspicion there would be the little beyond costs.
2) Oops. I meant there would be the disproportion in between subject (1).
