We usually do not post the record date. It is pretty much meaningless for most investors. 2/2 is the ex-dividend date. We usually do not post the record date.

I am getting a little confused about the verbiage when I read different sites. For example, on the press releases it mentions the date as of, let's say, Feb. 2nd but it calls that date the "Shareholders on record". I think this means you have to buy the stock two days before this date (the ex-dividend date), but I'm founding that everyone does it differently. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? I know the difference between the two, I just don't understand the way it is explained..thanks. Does holders as of Feb. 2nd mean the “record date” or ex-dividend date?
