Hello board, I'm relatively new to options (about 1 year) and have a question. I'm looking at the longer ORCL near the money calls. Can anyone offer a idea as to why the Jan02 at the money calls seem so cheap at $7.50ish. Also, you don't have to pay up to get an extra year in the '03's. Any thoughts on why this might be the case BESIDES the fact that ORCL hs been beaten up pretty badly and sentiment is at a lower point now? Your input and ideas appreciated.
