+for a 6-month call - because the underlying stock's price will be reduced by the ex­
+dividend reduction, and the call holder does not receive the cash dividends. 
+This particular call buyer calculated the value of the XYZ July 25 call in terms 
+of what it was worth with the stock discounted to 24 - not at 25. He knew for certain 
+that the stock was going to lose 1 point of value over the next 6 months, provided the 
+dividend rate of XYZ stock did not change. In actual practice, option buyers tend to 
+discount the upcoming dividends of the stock when they bid for the calls. However, 
+not all dividends are discounted fully; usually the nearest dividend is discounted 
+more heavily than are dividends to be paid at a later date. The less-volatile stocks with 
+the higher dividend payout rates have lower call prices than volatile stocks with low 
+payouts. In fact, in certain cases, an impending large dividend payment can substan­
+tially increase the probability of an exercise of the call in advance of expiration. (This 
+phenomenon is discussed more fully in the following section.) In any case, to one 
+degree or another, dividends exert an important influence on the price of some calls. 
+OTHER INFLUENCES 
+These six factors, major and minor, are only the quantifiable influences on the price 
+of an option. In practice, nonquantitative market dynamics - investor sentiment -
+can play various roles as well. In a bullish market, call premiums often expand 
+because of increased demand. In bearish markets, call premiums may shrink due to 
+increased supply or diminished demand. These influences, however, are normally 
+short-lived and generally come into play only in dynamic market periods when emo­
+tions are running high. 
+EXERCISE AND ASSIGNMENT: THE MECHANICS 
+The holder of an option can exercise his right at any time during the life of an option: 
+Call option holders exercise to buy stock, while put option holders exercise to sell 
+stock. In the event that an option is exercised, the writer of an option with the same 
+terms is assigned an obligation to fulfill the terms of the option contract. 
+EXERCISING THE OPTION 
+The actual mechanics of exercise and assignment are fairly simple, due to the role of 
+the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). As the issuer of all listed option contracts, 
+it controls all listed option exercises and assignments. Its activities are best explained 
+by an example.
