Lortap....First off, I agree with you. But, this board has always referred to CTs dividend, "interest payments" as strictly "dividends". That is where the confusion comes from. There is a difference http://www.accountingcoach.com/blog/dividends-interest-expense. The due interest from the bonds accrue and is payable on the securitiesno matter whom holds the securities or when. In other words....it is not like a dividend being declared in which only holders of a certain record date are paid. In a nutshell, if you are holding CT's in your account as of now and a distribution is announced.....you will be fine.
