Mail Block: Listener questions and comments

Question from Faye Cuzername - Thanks for the feedback on my Goldman trades by the way. It worked ok but I think I understand what I should have done. Got a new one for you. Bought an 11/7 weekly SPX fly 2010/2030/2050 for 6.80 on 11/5. The fly did not really move in value until Friday, even though SPX was slowly moving to short strike. Trade did everything I wanted but I thought I would be able to capture more profit on Thursday. What did I miss or am I just being greedy?

Question from Cuda6 - What is an easy way to spot an upcoming dividend using options? Thanks.
