Yes I saw that later when looking them all over. I was looking at the wrong options at a quick glance on the post. But overall my point was to look at any option call or put and the premium is typically obscene and beyond reality as far as price hitting and exceeding the strike price in the time left to actually make money. Much like buying a lottery ticket. When prices become volatile the sellers jack up the premium to cover most any possibility. There are not going to put their ass on the line to make buyers rich. They know what the odds are and keep prices out of the probability range. And short funded option accounts have no choice but to buy them and pray. The option seller just preys. Big difference. One needs deep pockets to play that game....
