How do you figure? Aren't the 35 calls worth 1/2?

George,

They were able to be sold at 7/16th at closing. However, the spread from bid to ask during the cycle was always 3/8ths on the option until Friday. The Market Makers have a 3/8ths profit in the spread alone and the commission on selling ones calls for 7/16ths eats up most of the income to the owner.
