Msowid I found confirmation for what you are saying in Investopedia. It says if it is 1) a stock dividend of any size or 2) a cash dividend worth more than 25% then the ex-dividend date is the date after the payment of the dividend.

This is very important for us to clarify. If the ex-dividend date really is this Monday Jan 28, then should we expect a sell off, due to the fact that people can sell their shares for an an entire month and still get the dividend? In other words, any shares I buy today could be sold next week and I would still get the div shares on Feb 25. What will that do to the share price during February?

Generex if you are reading this please make sure of your dates!
