Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates. The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you would like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date. I made a little screen of the best-yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

A full list of all stocks with ex-dividend date can be found here: Ex-Dividend Stocks on Nov. 20, 2012. In total, 32 stocks and preferred shares go ex dividend, of which nine yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 3.73%. If you would like to receive the next dividend you need to buy the dividend stocks now.
