4. Term Of The Day 📚
Ex‑Dividend Date
📖Definition: The first day a stock trades without the value of its next dividend payment. If you buy on or after this date, you won’t receive the upcoming dividend
📊Why it matters: Stocks often drop by approximately the dividend amount on this date—knowing it helps refine total‑return strategies and tax planning
💡Example: A stock declaring a $1/share dividend today and going ex‑dividend tomorrow at $50 may open around $49
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧 Song of the Day Track: “Make Room” – Saba ft. No I.D.
Why it hits: Newly released, this track blends introspective verses with jazzy production. Saba’s lyricism shines over No I.D.’s lush beats—a perfect blend of hunger and reflection heading into the second half of the year.
