When a stock drops over $50.00 in the first three hours on trading one a day and when the DJIA index is up can you play it for a one or two day partial rebound? $9.00 or nine hundred dollars gets you in.

The volume in them is not all that crazy but if I owned the stock I would be tempted to sell the Calls against my position and hope they would expire worthless. Tomorrow is Friday August 2nd. ...... ....... Why pay so much? Why pay $4.05 for a Call with a striking price of "58" with one trading day to go in the contract?
