This is the S&P with call options. If dividends count on return for this stock, then it's a winner big time. If dividends are not counted, then I guess it might only be worth about 7%

Premium to NAV will eventually erode.

What are people thinking? BEP matures in March, 2010 at it is NAV...which is a $1.30 under the market price!!

It only has 1 more $1 dividend to pay in December (so forget about that 18% yield) before it matures 3 months later. Would you pay a $1.30 premium to get back $1?
