See the middle section of this article - "The Effects of Dividends" investopedia.com/articles/optioninvestor/03/121003.asp ...and this article has a neat little blurb about how interest rates will affect call/put pricing. Relevant with all the hawk activity at the Fed. investopedia.com/university/options-pricing/… | |
