Here's a question I've been pondering. I now own a little over 500 shares after reinvesting dividends for a while. If I sold covered calls this week and I get assigned, am I still on record for the dividend? Since the ex-div date is Friday, the record date should be Thursday so I should still get the dividend. Am I thinking right? If I get assigned I can just buy more shares for next time and reinvest the dividend in Oct.
Well since the ex-div date is actually Wed, no issues. I sold some calls that should offset the drop in price on Wed and I shouldn't get assigned unless the price goes back up over 36 by Friday.
