  • Assuming this was a BTO their timing could not have been worse. I see the stock closed at 133.10 and the calls went out at a 1.30 bid vs their price of 3.10. That’s a paper loss of
    $180000.

    • Hello, we appreciate your question. This option contract represents 100 shares of stock. A delta represents the rate of change in the value of a call option with respect to a change in the price of the underlying asset. We hope this helps!
