When a share goes ex-div today, you can sell anytime today and still be entitled to the dividend.


You will notice is that the share price has likely fallen by the amount of the dividend first thing in the morning. That is because people who buy that share this morning no longer receive the dividend, and so they value the share less than yesterday by that amount (all else being equal of course, and on a strong up day like today you will see share price actally goes up despite the dividend drop-off - like LLC today).
