No. The options will be exercised automatically if they're in the money by $.25/share at time of expiration. If I sell the options now, I have a 45% short term cap gains tax to pay. If I exercise and hold for more than a year, it's half that.

But as long as the options are unexercised, they have no further margin power like stock would if it went to 150 or more in the interim.
