Ex-dividend date and Capital Gains     27-Nov-08 03:38 am    
I understand they pay the dividend and capital gain distributions in December. I am wondering how this is calculated? Dividends would be collected every quarter and capital gains whenever a sale is made. So, if this is correct we might expect sizable payout based on earnings while commodities were prosperting (up until about 5 months ago). Is this a correct understanding? If so, it seems anyone could come in a buy shares a few days before the record date and collect the payment for the entire year.

Thanks for any help in understanding how this works.
