KO - Adjustment




The following adjustment was made on today on Coca Cola Company (KO). All prices include IB commissions.

Ex-dividend date for KO is 9/13/10. The dividend amount is $0.44. The time value left on the Sep 55 Call was less than the dividend, putting it in jeopardy of being assigned early to capture the dividend, so I rolled it out to a Jan 55 Call for a net credit.
