Only by pure luck did I notice an Alert Message in my Etrade account. I called Etrade, told the customer service rep what I wanted, Option #3, which is the shares, not the dividend. Said this 3 times to her. She put me on hold and said that the dividend was setup. I questioned that after I hung up. No telling if I will get actual shares or some tax scalped dividend.

I will say that STD has weathered the financial crisis quite well. The stock is back to pre-Lehman levels and really that is all us little guys can ask for.
