It is normal course to see a drop in price on the day of (and for a few few days folowing) going ex-dividend. I wasn't expecting a $1 drop, although I have to admit I was expecting a larger drop than what we saw. I almost got caught offside as I did some day-trading in the stock yesterday and today -- managed to exit with a gain although a tiny one. What did strike me more than the price action was the relatively low volume of the last few days. Personally I didn't take mouserman's prediction of a $1 drop very literally -- I think it was more of a "nay-saying" of Ryangazder's predictions of large increase in the near future.
