Here's my take, Richard: as human beings, we're time-driven, by the clock, by the calendar. In this case, the date for the "dividends" is October 1. That means come September, the "dividend date" will suddenly loom large in peoples' minds as "... next month.". So, once Labour Day is a fond memory, people will be thinking about "... next month" [ i.e. October ]. For whatever deep-seated psychological reason, people seem to look one month ahead to impending events, and prepare their minds, and thus their actions, accordingly. So, I expect interest to pick up shortly after Labour Day. $^)
