Dividend

Telstra goes ex-dividend early March so by selling a put that expires in February before the ex-dividend date means that if exercised we will be entitled to receive the dividend of 14 cents or 4.17%. This increases our chances of not being exercised and receiving the maximum profit as share prices tend to increase before ex-dividend dates. However if exercised it is not a bad thing as we receive the high yield dividend and call sell calls to produce a large % yield in March.
