Wow, this is like a magic trick with options. Deducting dividends, selecting the highest European option, and keeping the stock price untainted. The Black-Scholes wizardry is strong with this one.

Yes, and selecting the European option with the highest value as the value of the American option adds another layer of complexity to the process.

Aha, I see! The missing step is using the unadjusted underlying stock price in the Black-Scholes model. Gotta keep those stock prices pure, no dividends allowed!

B) For each pseudo-option assumed to expire on a dividend date, deduct from the exercise price of the option the dividend payable on the date and the present value, using the risk-free rate, of all the remaining dividends to be paid after the dividend date during the term of the option

Wait, we're supposed to select the European option with the highest value as the value of the American option? That seems a bit counterintuitive, but I'll trust the Black-Scholes experts on this one.

Hmm, I think I've got it. Deducting the dividend payments from the exercise price for each pseudo-option is the step that's not mentioned. Tricky stuff, this option valuation.

Ah, I see! So the key step missing is the adjustment of the stock price to account for future dividends. Gotta love those pesky Black-Scholes details.
