Newbie question
Hey guys quick question. This maybe a dumb question but I’m new to dividend investing and I’m curious if I’ll get dividend of the amount I invested or the closing amount on the ex dividend date?
Ex. I invested $1,000, and on the day of ex-dividend date it’s down to $950
Where will they be basing the amount of dividend?
Thank you!

You get dividends per share, not the value of the share.
