the SP has not breached $1.50 by now. One would think that the dividend announcement would have spurred a more continuous/agressive buying with stock price support via the next/ongoing dividends to come at least.
As far as post-div SP drop...I am not sure it will happen. The fact that the SP has not risen as much as I had expected may mean that this is the new support level although it may drop 1-5c, but only an hour or two...IMO
