>> Did you look up the option to make sure the numbers were accurate? Since you didn't, I figured I would. The 52 week high for this option was 42 3/8. The 52 week low was 1 1/16. Not quite the numbers you quoted. The spread of your numbers, $.50 to $50, is 100X. The actual spread is only 40X. Quite a difference.

You are jumping to conclusions, Ritch. The high and low you reference are based on actual trades, not on the low bid. It's very possible that the bid hit 1/2 on option in question but there were no takers.

>> No one says that there is no risk to DIM options, but just that there is a lot less risk to DIM options than to OTM options.

If someone is thinking in terms of absolute dollars at risk, you are dead wrong.

>> Sorry if I have seemed argumentative with you

That's the impression I have. You should be penalized 15 yards for piling on.

>> but I feel you have misstated some things about options that needed to be corrected.

As have you, sir.

Prosperous investing,
uf
