gweiden It's worthless at expiration.
johnowens not true, gweiden. it's worth at expiration is its excersise value. if you have a call option to buy a stock at $20, which is trading at $30, then on expiration date its worth $10 per share.

"After Expiration", it is no longer excersisable, so it is worthless.
johntan1979 johnowens is right. It is worthless AFTER expiration, not ON or BEFORE.
