I am, too, amazed at the lack of premium in all options. I just don't get it. You can go out to April and buy the 120s for 61. That's 181 on the stock and it closed at 176. For a stock that has gone up over 200 points in one week, I just don't get it. Either the MMs know something or something else is wrong with the equation. I guess we will find out in the next couple of days.

Excellent post again, thanks Jim.
I have no more Jan options, but many (for me) Feb and many MANY Aprils...plus my fiancee (who has hardly any money and has trusted me to invest it this last couple of years) has 4 Aprils.
I noticed this morning that our Feb only have a couple of dollars over parity...and they have six weeks or so!!!!!
On a volatile stock! Amazing!
Our Aprils only have approximately $6 over parity.
So maybe I wont sell the Feb in the morning as I was expecting (I have the day off to watch) unless the stock itself goes to around 200 . Hope that ends up sensible!

JW- I noticed the abrupt drop in the premium of
options myself- noted it with some dismay. Is this aspect of the option value entirely at their discretion? What, if anything, might compel them to build the time value back in? BTW, wondering if you decided what to do re: exercise/sale of your Jan. calls?
