Today is the ex div date. The dividend is $0.6249. With 5,700 shares that is about $3561.93, payable on 10/31/2011. I’m going to include this in the totals since I will be paid even if I sell my position before then.

I think tomorrow is ex-div day.
The hedge is getting smaller. I may close it if it gets down to $1,000. It would’ve been cool to close it at +$6,000 or +$4,000 but I have no idea where price is going and I didn’t want to close it too early. The hedge is just a bonus, though. Whether it’s +$1,000 or +$6,000, that’s still extra money.
The next div date is Friday, 9/16.
The average SPY dividend this year so far has been $0.59. If that is the value of the next dividend then I will get a payment of $3,363 to be added to the net total of this trade.
