I'm not talking about the typo EFFI (sic) instead of EFII. What I'm saying is, (a) how can calls for a lower strike price have better prices than the calls for a higher strike price? (b) how can in-the-money calls sell for less than their intrinsic value?

EFII closed at 14 7/8, so I can understand the Jan 15 calls selling for 2 3/8 to 2 3/4. But the Jan 10 calls have an intrinsic value of 4 7/8, plus four weeks of time value. How can they be selling for under 5, let alone under 2? Likewise, the Jan 5 calls have an intrinsic value of 9 7/8.
