Why? Because the option would be around $8-$8.50 as you would be much closer to the $30 strike with plenty of time left.

Make sense?
So I'd have a year in that scenario for the stock to hit $24. And if at that time I wanted, could sell that option and make about $450? It doesn't have to reach the strike number?
