I did buy 500 on 1/24/03 at 11.20, waited a few days and sold the Sept 12.5 call for .90, collected 200.00 in dividends and was called out(early)today at 12.50, guess they wanted the dividend and sell on Monday, was good for us both. :)

So 11.20 paid - .90 for cc = 10.10 cost
12.50 sell + .40 Dividend = 12.90 sold
12.90-10.10 = 2.80 or 27.77% return in less than 5 months.
After commsion it was only 25.98%

I agree that this particular case would have been worth a whole bunch of dividend captures; however, how many are goign to work out like this, and how are you going to pick them? - dividend capture is pretty consistent, regardless of the stock
