My Warren Buffett trade today Coke...KO

[SunTrader]

If you exercise before ex-div date.

That has not been my experience.

Yeah cool...so you've found that an options market maker sells a call to you without dividend discount so you sell a call/buy a put for even money and arb the dividend? Can you please tell me who you're trading against so I can shove a couple of millions worth of premium down his throat?

Update: You don't get the dividend when you do a covered call. The call is discounted by the dividend amount. But hey: at least you pay taxes on the divs

Hey, read a thread once in awhile...OK. I don't pay taxes. KO almost hit $62. on Monday...I feel I had a good entry point. I did get the dividend. As I write, KO is at $58.80...I am a real value investor nut!!
