The dividend was declared on June 15th. Quite likely that things have gotten a lot worse since then, and also that it will be cut sharply or eliminated next quarter. And they just announced major layoffs. But even so.......

Hi Jerome, Looks like AHM won't pay up; American Home Mortgage Investment Corp. Delays Payment of Quarterly Common Stock and Series A and Series B Preferred Stock Dividends biz.yahoo.com I haven't seen this type of thing happen too much over the years, not paying after declaring the dividend, but not a real good sign. IMHO the risk is still to the downside on these plays and the option premiums are weighing the size of that risk. You can look back at NEW,NFI,DRL etc. to see. regards, dealmakr
