RE:RE:RE:RE:boo hoo shortsDroit let us say Apple is trading at $120 US and the strike price on the option is $110 that would mean the value of the option is share price minus stock price plus time value. So you would have 120-110 or $10 value plus time! Given with only 4 hours left the time value would literally be pennies. So let us assume for simplicity time value = $1 so the options would be selling at $11. You have your $5000 bet divided by $11 so you could theoretically buy 454 options but as i recall you would have to be in the 100 lot so 400 options. So to make $110,000 profit your options would have had to return to you $115,000. So $115K divided by 400 options = $287.50 ea. In order for the options to be worth $287.50 the stock price would have had to risen to almost $400 a share so over 300% in 2 hours lol!
