Lee,

Absolutely agreed. Volatility is key when trading options. If many want in, the volatility may increase as well. But I was assuming a simple model, that the options price is affected only by it's delta and not it's vega.

-Apratim.

PS: Definitions for those who might want:

delta: rate of change in the value of the option wrt rate of change in the value of the underlying equity, other things remaining the same.

vega: rate of change in the value of the option wrt rate of change in the volatility of the underlying equity, other things remaining the same.
