Do you actually benifit from buying a call ITM, seems like you would still need the stock price to go higher to reach a break even point.

Hey Mike, I bought a 13 Call Option for $2.65 It is now worth $25.17 it has 150 days to expiration, I want to keep the shares (exercise) what will happen to the remaining amount ($25.17- $13.00)x100 do I keep it or do i lose it?

[alenayou]

Hi! So the opposite of buying a Put ITM would be Selling a call (OTM) correct? Thanks!

[JGreen.]

HI Mike, can you show me where I can download the slides from the archive page? thanks

[ripudamansingh]

where can I download all these slides?

[DanielRizza]

OK, If an options expires OTM, that is the same as saying it is worthless, right? I would like an explanation of what exactly ITM and OTM means. Let's say I buy a 100 dollar call on a stock trading at 90 dollars. That call is OTM at that time. If it then moves to 110 at expiration, is the call option then ITM? Vice versa for a put? If this is true, then we want the options we buy to be ITM so we can profit and options we sell to be OTM for us to profit?

[alschwartz]

got a call spread on NVDA that's 4 points ITM for 1.55 it's 2.50 wide

ATM and OTM options don’t have any intrinsic value because they do not have any real value.

It's "without further ado."
