Ex - Dividend - means "without dividend." The buyer of shares when they are quoted ex-dividend is not entitled to receive a declared dividend

Cum _dividend - With dividend

In Balancesheet - Investment will be shown at Cost if it is not held for trade. Dividend part should be removed from Cost when it is Cum Dividend

18 October 2010 In Ex Dividend - Buyer will not have right on dividend. So naturally seller of instrument will account the interest
