September 2009 Ex-Dividend date for SPY: 18-Sept-09 Payout $0.5083 per share

Distribution date is the last business day of October -- the 30th.

All of my SPY holdings were called away on the 17th -- rather than dividend capture, perhaps I should rename the September related posts (one two) -- "Early Option Premium Capture" instead.  In a bull market (and after the fact) it is tempting to just hold the stock and collect the dividends.  On the other hand, watching a ton of stock go down day after day post-ex-dividend isn't much fun.
