Hi tom, Looking at the dividend from ORCL stock goes ex dividend on 12/12 and the options expire on 12/22. Not much of a cushion at either 31 or 32 and 10 days of market risk between those dates not counting the total days of market risk between today and options expiration. For .18/share of the dividend and the stock at 32.12 I think a lot of risk in NP selling if folks want to hit the door to capture LT cap gains or if other market disruptions occur. JMHO. Maybe Sir Lawrence needed a few cases of marine wax and polish for the boat and would explain the early payout without the tax man taking a bigger bite. Good trading dealmakr
