Yahoo Finance shows a volume of 6 calls last Friday for the April 35 2010 Calls. Last trade was $1.00.
My spreadsheet shows the cash flow or return for the unexercised and exercised cases. I believe the dividend is now $0.3675.
I show cash flow including dividends of 5.12% if not exercised, or a return of 8.36% if exercised.
WGL certainly held up well in 2008. Very low risk investment.
