Right now your option is costing a buck premium but you have to keep in mind that the option premium can move all over the place independent of a price move if you want to see what can happen watch an option prior to earnings and what happens to it after earnings... I would suggest looking at some articles talking about implied volatility perhaps someone can give you a link as far as waterhouse you will pay a base fee plus a per contract fee..so yes one contract will cost less than 5 I dont remember how much it is even though I trade with waterhouse and once the option reaches a certain price and quantity amount...the commission structure changes a bit you need to get them to send you their commission structure you can get a discount if you use the internet or tradedirect service but you dont get a discount with both it is one or the other and if you are having problems with the one you choose you can call the broker and ask for the discount
