The other poster is wrong. You definitely get the dividend. That's why the stock opened $2 lower this morning ... the $2 per share is taken out of the stock price and will be mailed to you as a check around Dec. 28. "When" a company announces a dividend has nothing to do with "whether" you get it ... it's determined by when the stock starts trading "ex-dividend" which is today... so any stockholders of record by close of market yesterday get the dividend.
Sentiment: Buy
