Here is a great example of too much optimism and froth and the euphoria surrounding this markIt of competing algorithms.

Say you want to speculate on MSFT earnings? What might that cost you for a nice 5000 share position? $123,000ish of capital. Not even close. Try $11,500ish.

May 22.5 strike Calls, 3 weeks, and 2 days til expire, $2.30
8 cents of time premium pitance.
MSFT stock $24.72 (22.5 plus 2.30 = 24.80)

Can you see the optimism?
