Apr 30, 2021 at 18:00 comment added Bob Baerker Share price drops overnight by the exact amount of the dividend on the ex-div date not some 'average' amount. The close to close one day change before and including the ex-div date will vary due to subsequent trading resumes on the ex-div date.

Apr 29, 2021 at 19:26 comment added Bob Baerker I'm not the one who stated that they're the same: From a shareholder wealth standpoint it's a wash. It would only be a wash if there is no taxation.
