IPAS has been on my watchlist for a few months. I like the 3 year downtrend from 2006-2009. I personally think it is a little early from looking at the chart, but the dividends might sway me to throw some money in before the 31st.

iPass Declares $20 Million Cash Dividend
I'm not making any predictions here but I believe there might be a run up over the next few trading days followed by a drop after the ex-date.

I tried to put in a buy order today at e-trade. they told me I had to buy before the X date, with was the 27th, be on record as of the 31st, to qualify for the dividend. Is this per the company or e-trade???
tks in advance...
While the decision to declare dividends are decided on by the company's board of directors, the process by which they work is a general formula that companies follow.Originally Posted by FXSTcmh
In order to qualify for the dividend you must purchase the stock at least one day before the ex-date (typically two days before the date of record). This way the transaction will clear (T+3) on the date of record. It should also be noted that the ex-date is also the first day on which you can sell the stock (if you already own it) and still receive the dividend.
