Peter, the first opportunity for an option play will come on this fri or monday, to buy prefferably the FRE jan 115 call. It should gain in value due to accumulation of stock by those who wish to capture the stock dividend which will be paid on Dec 31st, to the share holders of record. You should sell your option by the 20th maybe the 23rd. This is the approximate date you need to own the stock for it to recorded by the 31st. Once recorded, you can sell your stock and still get the dividend, so many do, and option traders never care about this but are aware, and unload before the dividend capturers do.

Other opportunities will come the day of the slit, and a few days after that for a longer play out 2-3months.
