Nokia, time to take some profit
Seeking Alpha Analyst Since 2010
We can see how NOK shares are trading in the 8´s since mid-February.
On May 25th NOK will pay a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share, about USD 0.569, that is a 6.8% of NOK share price (now 8.37 -3.35%). Not too bad!
Ex-dividend date is May 4th.

In my opinion NOK shares are not going to fall under 7.9, I see very solid upward possibilities analyzing the fundamentals.
Check the long term graph to see the support levels...
For cautious investors I suggest buying the shares and also June 2011 - 13 - Put for 5.20 to limit down risk until the ex-div date.
