RE:RE:RE:Record Date and Effective DateMy opinion is a bit different. The "due bill" attaches to the share as of Feb 2. Unitl Feb 11 any sale/purchase comes with the 'due bill'. Other wise there would have been a corresponding 40 ish cent drop as of Feb 2. I woudl expect that drop to come Feb 11 , once the shares are ex-distribution.
Not a securities lawyer and I dont play one on tv, so please do your due dilly.
