Sampat, thanks. After by first response, I went back to your post and cleaned it up with excel. SI's cut and paste is bad. Option Share 3-Jan Option Share Cost Cost Price Return Return 47.4 33.6 35 -100.00% 4.17% 47.4 33.6 45 -67.57% 33.93% 47.4 33.6 55 102.70% 63.69% 47.4 33.6 65 237.84% 93.45% 47.4 33.6 75 372.97% 123.21% 47.4 33.6 85 508.11% 152.98% 47.4 33.6 95 643.24% 182.74% After looking at the excel version, I see something of concern. So even if the stock went to $55.00 than the option return of 102.70% and the stock return of 63.69%, at this point, not a real good risk to reward. It is not until, $75.00 with a return of 372.97% while the stock is 123.21%, now there is a big difference. So unless it goes to $75.00 owning the stock has less risk for the reward. Thanks for your thoughts. Stan
