If a company goes Ex DIvidend, if you sell do you still get the dividend. If not at what stage can you sell and still receive the dividend?

To be entitled to receive an upcoming dividend you must hold shares in that company after the market closes on the day BEFORE the ex-dividend date.
You can sell the shares any time you like after close of business on the day before ex-dividend....ie...on ex-div date or after......and still receive the dividend......
The same applies with ex-rights, ex-bonus, ex-entitlement ex-'whatever'
