I think I've heard somehow dividends get in the way of option price behavior? How is it so?

(A couple of today's examples: Deutsche Securities downgraded American Axle (AXL) from Buy to Hold. Oppenheimer downgraded FormFactor (FORM) from Outperform to Perform. Piper Jaffray downgraded Washington Mutual (WM) from Neutral to Sell.)

Is he nearly as good as he claims to be? Does he honor refund requests? Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:45:50 -0400 http://www.tickerhound.com/questions/detail/200806db47ac9/help-on-nonstandard-options http://www.tickerhound.com/questions/detail/200806db47ac9/help-on-nonstandard-options I can't get it: I am looking at the July 50 MTL put (+MGWSJ), which is a non-standard option (it controls 300 shares instead of 100) but there's also another July 50 MTL put (+MTLSJ) which is standard (and costs some 20 times more, but for 100 shares). What's the deal here? Thanks.

Am I making a false reading here? Where do all the 'triple bagger' sort of teasers end up in? Do they just average out to market with the rest of their portfolio? (Thanks to Oldman for the tip.)

Which is the most expected one? Thanks.
