nope This would be the same value for the Put and call for the same strike price and that isn't right. I am looking for the value of the strike. If I was to call in and ask to buy the GCLZ8 90.00 Call he would say ok that will cost you $1,180.00 or primuim of 1.18 or 1.18 points (minumum moves.) Also if I buy the same Strike but ask to buy the Put it would cost me $20,860.00 or a primuim of 20.86.
