Option expiration and price
Let's explore a bit how the price of an option can vary, or how it can relate to the actual expiration date.발음듣기
So what I'm going to do is compare two similar options with the underlying stock being General Electric.발음듣기
And they're going to be the same in every way, except one is going to have a further out expiration date.발음듣기
So it's going to expire, or the last day of trading that you could trade this option, will be the third Friday in April.발음듣기
Let's compare that with an option that has the same strike price, but has a December, 2011 expiration.발음듣기
And you can see right when you compare the options that the one that has a further out expiration cost more.발음듣기
You have the right, if you own either one of those options, you have the option to buy the stock at $17 and then sell it at whatever price this is.발음듣기
But if you have the option with a closer expiration, with the April, 2011 expiration, you have to exercise the option right now.발음듣기
Someone who holds the closer dated option, the one that expires first, they'll be completely out of the money.발음듣기
But if you have the longer expiration, if your option does not expire until December of 2011, then you could hold it.발음듣기
Even if you have this situation here, and you hold the longer dated option - you have the option that's going to expire in December - you still would not want to exercise it.발음듣기
So what you're better off doing, instead of exercising the option, you're better off selling the longer dated option right over there.발음듣기
