• Value if stock is increased 3.00 = 3.20

The Heart of the Matter

• Speculators are eager to pay a premium to increase the amount of leverage used on an investment position.

• The premiums they pay decline most rapidly in the last month of a contract’s life.

• By selling contracts to speculators, investors can capture a premium with an attractive return in a short period of time.

MNII Investor Advantage

• Stocks go up• Stocks go down• Stocks stand still

• But time only goes forward!

• The passage of time benefits the seller of option premiums.
