| group | Intrinsic value cannot be negative - by definition |
| mrushdi | For the writer it can be negative. |
| Shammel | Great Question! |
| endurance | marvelous question, indeed! |
| johntan1979 | OWH! Right... thanks to this question, I won't fall for the same trick again if it comes out in the exam. |
| jonan203 | it is impossible to have a negative value with this formula. Call = Max(X-ST, 0) where: X = Strike ST = stock price |
| Inaganti6 | 2MRUSHDI short call was not mentioned ! |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
