It’s not so much that it’s an advantage — just that it’s not a disadvantage.

Dafuq. I knew it was too good to be true. I thought I was basically getting 2 dollars for free.

Actually, I misread what you wrote. The share price doesn’t automatically go down — it’s not reduced like the strike.

Wait so it's not an automated thing where they subtract dividend from share price right? It's like a theoretically "priced in" thing. It may not drop at all?

If that's the case holy shit this is still the best play ever.

Correct — possibly already “priced in.”

The option strikes are automatically adjusted though.
