What is the EX you speak of?

Ex-Dividend date.
Declare date: 9/12/2014 - this is the date Intel "declared" they were paying a $0.225 per share dividend on 12/1/2014.
Ex-dividend date: 11/5/2014 - If you own the stock before this date you receive the dividend, if you acquire it this day or after you do not. If I sell you my stock on or after 11/5/2014 you buy it "Ex-dividend", without the dividend.
Record date: date the company records the owners for the purpose of the dividend. A few business days after the Ex date.
Pay date: when the dividend pays out.
So, since I will own this stock tomorrow, I will get the dividend on 12/1 even if I sell it before 12/1.
