Options work like this: You give up your money and then watch as your investment expire worthless! Lol! But sometimes you make a killing!
Yes, options control 100 shares so when I pay 5.45 it's cost is $545
my 185 strike May 10th call option now pays me everything above 185 by May 10th, but since I paid 5.45 I won't be in profits till it trades 190.46, and it will expire worthless under 185 by May 10, GL
