sorry I meant the bid price or the price I would buy in at for the contract.
My buddy just explained options to me on the phone a few days ago so my knowledge and lingo are limited. Basically he said there is a strike price and a date of expiration. The price you get in at fluctuates according to the amount of time until expiration and the probability of it hitting that strike price.
That was the "it" I was referring to when I said if it gets low enough.
here is CHK

so if I wanted CHKKQ.X it would have a strike price of 22.50 and would expire nov. 21st and cost me $67.00(b/c its bid and ask price avg out to around .67x100)(the price I would get in at).
