That is correct. We should be hearing an announcement soon with regard to the December dividend.

I don't recall if you mentioned it or not. With your sister's account, will dividends be reinvested, collecting the cash or using cash to purchase more positions? The answer to this question could also help define what the priorities are as you set up their portfolio. For example, if reinvesting, then it makes sense to purchase more lower yielding equities with high dividend growth rates. If collecting the cash or using it to make other purchases, then purchasing more higher yielding, lower dividend growth rate stocks would be the way to go. I'm sure you have a plan, but in order for us to meet your request of passing along ideas, we need to know how the accounts will be set up.
