Volumes were still high, but shy of 1m. I would assume that a few fundies are happy to pay up to 50c even after ex-date as they prb got set at 42-52 with a 2/3rd's more at 34c. Can't really argue with the value proposition, even if there are a few holders that will arbitrage their holding/rights. You wouldn't sell till after record date though, so you are probably right in saying we'll see a pull-back on Monday, but <46c is a bargain (5x ebitda)!!
