They were all adjusted in a weird way. Losses started mounting on those hence making the div deal stale. I got stuck with options I bought, 50 puts. They were all adjusted in a weird way.

ASH would be adjusted by 10.50 from previous days close. There will be a huge gap in its chart. FYI the price of stock is adjusted by the divident amount on the Ex-divident date.

We'd really appreciate if you would provide some rational justification for your comment. Thanks.

This means that, to be intitle to receive the dividend I only can sell on Oct 27 or can I sell on Oct 26? Sorry in advance if this look very stupid doubts but as mentioned I'm new on this dividend subject. Any help you can provide me would be very helpful.

Currently I don't own any ASH, so I'd have to purchase by Oct. 10 if I want in, right, since that's the record date? 2. Not ready to try shorting yet, but since the dividend is so large, I'd be willing to hold until price heads north after the ex-div date drop. How long do people here think it will be for share price to come close to pre ex-div date levels? I know this isn't really the essence of dividend capture, but would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thanks, Greg I’m new at the dividend stuff, so please excuse if my questions seem a bit dumb.
