He/she got their arse burned then. Palo is down nearly 20% from the call purchase date.

We saw that yesterday and couldn't make any sense of it.

No she didn't.

The investment was made on February 12.
Pelosi also revealed acquiring a call option valued between $100,000 and $250,000. This investment was made on February 21
She's made alot on it based on current price and last purchase.
These calls are also out in Jan 2025.
BTW, I purchased on the drop off too.

$200/ Jan. 17 2025
Pretty sure her total investment was $1.25M. So I would guess she bought at $125.

Pelosi is not Gumbo Gary day trading
, she will net a nice profit.

She bought I believe 10-20% more off the earnings call...main reason for the earnings call drop was that a "big" contract had not been signed yet.
They later found out it was a big US Govt Security contract. I bought in yesterday myself.

Help me understand this.
If she buys call options on the 21st with a strike at $200, the stock was trading at $260ish…..so wouldn’t she pay a premium because she’s already in the money? If she was playing some long game wouldn’t it make more sense to buy a strike a little higher than the current price?
Obviously I’m not an options trader.

It’s a good question.
It depends on the trader’s strategy. The deeper in the money an option is, the more it will trade like the underlying stock (just meaning $ for $ movement). By being deep in the money, as this trade apparently is, the trader has established a sort of synthetic long stock position - only for a significantly smaller amount of capital than if they’d bought the stock. And because U.S. equities trade American style options, the trader can exercise the ITM options at anytime prior to expiration, if they so choose. But typically, traders close the long option position prior to expiration. So basically, you can think of buying a deep ITM call as akin to being long the stock, just for less money. Does that make sense?
As for premium, both in the money and out of the money options will have some amount of premium attached - the amount of premium or option value will be affected by different variables in each case. And without going into a lot of detail, deep in the money options, already being in the money, have more intrinsic value (premium), and less extrinsic. Whereas an out of the money option would have more extrinsic/speculative value (premium) and no meaningful intrinsic value (because it’s not yet in the money). And they’re both going to be affected by implied volatility and the time value (adding to the premium) that the expiration date dictates.
That’s not a complete explanation, but hopefully it’s enough to roughly answer your question, without being overly confusing.
