Please vote for my suggestion on the feautre poll to add min nomial EFP $ amount. By adding the min amount, we can set a number between the max and min to scan for the desired month and filter out dividend paying stocks by setting the min to 0. Thank you!

Oh and by the way, i want to share my experience in playing EFP. If you are investing your free cash there, you could actually improve the yield if you could find a higher EFP bid in other stocks than the exisitng short EFP position. For example, i sold the MA ($235) may spread at $44.5 on firday and i bought it back at $33.5 on tuesday. At the same time i sold 2 RIMM ($120) for $20.2 each. It yields me about $5 net without any risk. These are free money out there and i think IBEFP users can utilize it by using the scan feature that i proposed.
