call option 2 $ FFAI

 A call option give you the right but not obligation to buy share at the strike price or before expiration. 

You pay a premium the price shown on 0.31 or 0.01 for this right

Each option contract controls 100 shares so you multiply the premium 100 to see the total cost 

0.31 x 100 = 31 for cost one for 2 $ call 

2 dollar call 


  • You purchased an FFAI $2 Call option on 8/29 for $0.30 per contract ($30 total since 1 contract = 100 shares).

  • Options are just like stocks in that you can sell them any trading day before expiration — you don’t have to hold until expiration.

  • As long as the market is open (Monday–Friday, normal trading hours), you can sell your call option to another trader if there’s market demand (someone willing to buy it).

✅ So if today is 8/29 (purchase date), you can sell it on Thursday 8/31 or any later date before expiration.

⚠️ Just remember:

  • The price you sell for depends on FFAI’s stock price movement and option demand.

  • If FFAI goes above $2, your call option may increase in value.

  • If it stays below $2, the option may lose value as time passes.

👉 Do you want me to also explain what your profit or loss would look like depending on FFAI’s price by Thursday?

Perfect 👍 Let’s break it down step by step so you can see how your FFAI $2 Call could perform by Thursday (or later).


🔑 Quick Recap of Your Option

  • Contract: FFAI $2 Call

  • Buy Price (Premium): $0.30 per share ($30 total for 1 contract = 100 shares)

  • Expiration: (Not shown in screenshot, but most likely a weekly/monthly option. Let’s assume soon.)

  • Breakeven Price: $2.00 (strike) + $0.30 (premium) = $2.30

This means you only profit if FFAI stock is above $2.30 by expiration.


📈 If FFAI stock goes up

  • Example: If FFAI rises to $2.50

    • Option’s intrinsic value = $2.50 – $2.00 = $0.50

    • Your option could trade around $0.50 (maybe higher with time value).

    • If you sell at $0.50 → $50 total – $30 cost = +$20 profit (≈ +67%)

  • Example: If FFAI rises to $3.00

    • Intrinsic value = $1.00

    • Option might be worth around $1.00+ (=$100 per contract).

    • Profit = $100 – $30 = +$70 profit (≈ +233%)


📉 If FFAI stock stays flat or goes down

  • Example: If FFAI stays around $2.00 or lower

    • The option stays out of the money (OTM).

    • Value might drop below $0.30 → maybe $0.20 or $0.10 as expiration gets closer.

    • If you sell at $0.10 → $10 – $30 = –$20 loss

  • Example: If FFAI drops to $1.50

    • Option has no intrinsic value.

    • Price might fall close to $0.05 or $0.00 near expiration.

    • You’d likely lose most or all of your $30 investment.


📝 Key Things to Remember

  1. You can sell anytime before expiration — you don’t need to wait.

  2. Profit depends on how much above $2.30 the stock moves by the time you sell.

  3. If the stock stays under $2, your option will probably expire worthless.


👉 Do you want me to also track FFAI stock price this week and show you if your option is gaining or losing value each day?

Good question 👍 — this is really important to understand.

Here’s what happens if you don’t sell your call option by expiration:


1. If your call is Out of the Money (OTM)

  • Example: FFAI stock closes below $2.00 at expiration.

  • Your option has no value.

  • It will expire worthless, and you just lose the $30 you paid.

  • Nothing is automatically sold in your account.


2. If your call is In the Money (ITM)

  • Example: FFAI closes above $2.00 at expiration (say $2.50).

  • Your broker may do one of two things depending on your account settings:

    🔹 Cash-settled (common in small accounts): Your broker may automatically sell the option at its final value, and you just get the profit in cash.

    🔹 Stock assignment (less common if you don’t have enough cash): Since 1 call contract = 100 shares, you’d technically be buying 100 shares at $2 each = $200 cost.

    • If you don’t have $200 in your account, most brokers will automatically sell the option before expiration to avoid putting you into a margin issue.


✅ So to answer your question:

  • No, it will not automatically sell at any random price.

  • If it expires OTM (below $2) → it just goes worthless.

  • If it expires ITM (above $2) → your broker will usually either sell it automatically or assign you 100 shares (only if you have enough money in the account).
