  • Oil Takes a Dive; Is It Still Alive? 45 Option Strategies [View article]
    I forgot to mention in this article that yesterday the third most active traded option contract was the January 55 USO call... See top ten from yesterday at: optionmaestro.blogspot... I just thought it was interesting that that many January 55 USO calls traded yesterday.

    Thanks for the comment! The dividend is not included in the return. However, sometimes the options market prices that in and may not change the premium too much. I am calculating the return as if I purchased the stock as of June 2, 2009 close, and sold the Call immediately for the Theo value.

    Hey thanks for the comment! Options probability is derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Although a rather complicated calculation, once you get it down is simple. However most brokerages have probabilities available either with an options calculator or something called a "delta" value.
