...the ask on 5.00 calls for august is .05 cents.....let me just run through this logically, because this looks a bit ridiculous. Logic says that, were I to bid on this call, it would cost me 5 dollars to purchase the right to buy 100 shares of nfi at 5.00 a share. Now, nfi closed at 6.23. What is stopping me from exercising these options today, and then selling the shares for 6.23 each?
I had to write this out because it just looks impossible, arbitrage spread is too extreme.
