do options take dividend into account?
user
the cboe had a great article on this. i will search for it and edit. the normal dividends are not adjusted. which is why you see early exercise of just out of the money options sometimes. to get that dividend. a special dividend, say a $50 stock with $1/yr dividend but now has a $3 one time dividend would likely result in an option strike adjustment.
