It was a theoretical question

But there are plenty of options that would fall in that category.

A lot of retail folks Ignore Gamma and do not take that into consideration.

Yeah the Gambles are an office pool. Once and a while I get one going. First one was a winner. The last one I asked folks it is time to take the winnings and they chose to let it ride and lost.

Although A lot of folks got burned on the Goldman sacks recommendation to load up on the GE DEC 16 calls at 60 cents.

GS has no business telling retail customers to go buy an options position with price recommendation.
