OT Q: (Trying to settle an argument) Let's compare a stock (like EMC) trading at 100....if Dec calls (120's) are trading at 6..and let's take another stock (AT & T) trading at 30....and Dec calls (35's) are trading at 2........can/does the PRICE of a call indicate (at all) that the market believes one stock will appreciate more than another-at a given point and time?? (and hence, higher prices for some stock's calls over another's) OR it is purely a question of volatility (ie, the price of a call...regardless of price...does not indicate anything about the market's view of that stock's potential appreciation (vis-a-vis) other stocks.... (OR, does volatility, by definition, AUTOMATICALLY assume/mean upside potential (as well as downside).. Sorry for the blurry question..this is the way it was presented to me....thanks in advance for any efforts...
