Yeah, which has nothing to do with the OP nor the timestamp thereof. So all of your crack analysis for naught. You're a fooking genius. Look up "historical quotes".
Feb12 = February 2012. My quote system for monthlies assumes 3rd friday of each month expiration day. This is truly amazing. I can not recall in quite some time when a stock has made a steady non-stop rise like this over the course of less than 21 days or so. The Feb $470's have now gone from under $2 since inception post of this thread to upper $46 range. I hope someone on here made some money off this run because I sure as heck did not.
only 3 pennies of extrinsic. so it will trade at parity real soon? I guess he will might get assigned tonight or probably thursday night. Oh well time to panic now.
Ugh, the puts are 5x9 cents. A better indication of the probability than attempting to price the calls against the stock.
3 cents today. but it shows theta of -04 for the call. so do you think he still has some hope of no assignment from the last nickel still being time value? if thats the case anything could still happen and AAPL could be under 470 thursday. ie WWIII etc..
If the market in the call is discounted then it will be assigned. My point was that it's silly to calc extrinsic value against the 470C... use the put.
