I have a question regarding the Google Finance site. What does it mean when it says "Dividend 23¢ (1.59%) Apr 28, 2009". I always assumed that this meant that the company was paying that dividend to shareholders on that day.
But for RioCan (REI.UN), it says exactly that but the RioCan website says that the distribution announed at the end of April 2009 was 11.5¢ (not 23). Also, Google says no distribution for February 2009 but the RioCan site says there was an 11.5¢ distribution announed on February 27, 2009.
So how do I read the Google site? Thanks
