you will only get dividend when you are still holding the stock by ex-dividend date. Means you can enter anytime before the ex-dividend date. OCBC should announce the ex-dividend date and dividend payout date next week. Do not confuse both dates, what's important is the ex-dividend date which means expiry dividend date.

if ex-dividend date for an example is 12th August, means you must enter the latest one trading day before, buying it on 12th will not get u the dividend

can sell, and usually that's the day of mass selling, and you seldom get a good deal and you may find yourself force selling it, and sometimes at a loss more than your dividend. just don't buy into a stock that's already overbought due to the hype of dividend payout.

I had all 3 bank shares in my CDP account which is for long time investment, means I keep them to earn dividend. I find the current price now is overbought for all 3 bank stocks. People are having high hopes that dividend payout will be good hence the buying frenzy. My thoughts are what if it's not as good as previous year (b4 covid)... should I risk a high buying price now for something not confirmed? Previous payout is 0.159 (capped at 60% due to MAS restriction). You do the math, and should have a rough guide the highest bid you can enter to be on the winning side. Personally for me, I will wait for Mon and Tue, if price still so high, I'll pass on buying additional.
