| 0:00.0 | Hey, I'm Ryan Mallory, and this is my swing trading, the stock market podcast. |
| 0:11.3 | I'm here to teach you how to trade in a complex, ever-changing world of finance. |
| 0:16.2 | Learn what it means to trade profitably and consistently, managing risk, avoiding the pitfalls of trading, |
| 0:22.1 | and most importantly, to let those winners run wild. |
| 0:25.4 | You can succeed at the stock market, and I'm ready to show you how. |
| 0:30.5 | Hey, everybody, this is Ryan Mallory with Swing Trading the Stock Market, |
| 0:34.1 | and today's episode comes from a guy who wants to be called Benji. Now, he says |
| 0:39.8 | that I've never used Benji before, but I have. He's also got some questions about buying a |
| 0:44.7 | stock before the X dividend date. Now, if you guys don't know what X dividend date is, that's where |
| 0:48.7 | they take the price of the dividend out of the stock. You don't necessarily receive the money |
| 0:52.9 | on that day. That's usually a little bit further down the road, but don't necessarily receive the money on that day. That's usually a little bit |
| 0:54.6 | further down the road, but you qualify to receive the dividend on that particular date. |
| 0:59.7 | He has a question about that, and he also has a question about trading a stock post earnings. |
| 1:05.0 | Now, you guys know that I don't hold stocks through earnings, so his question revolves around |
| 1:08.9 | getting in following a good earnings report. |
| 1:12.1 | So let's go ahead and get into Benji's email. And he writes with the subject, thanks for all the fish. |
| 1:19.1 | My title is in reference to the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, of course. But in reality, I should say thanks for |
| 1:24.4 | teaching us how to fish because your podcast and Patreon materials that you have provided at swing trade in the stock market.com have been very valuable to me and helping me learn how to think for myself and the stock market. |
| 1:37.2 | And for those who don't know what swing trade in the stock market.com is that he's referencing. |
| 1:43.0 | It's all of my stock market research each |
| 1:44.9 | and every day that you can get that's going to include my weekly watch lists my daily list of |
| 1:50.8 | trade setups that I'm following it's also including updates on all the fang stocks each week plus |
