Today's move left my 138 Aug option worth little under half of what it was worth just two weeks ago. Today's value is $1475. Original cost $3000. That's how they work. The option has not only face value, but also Time value and today it has 128 day's left until expiration. Will post a picture of the Aug Chart. The experts are now saying it will test the $150 level and at that time recommend taking a position to hedge fall sales. These are the same experts that said cattle would be dropping this time of the year. The link is to Aug options values if anyone wants to follow. https://www.agweb.com/markets/futures/?&page=optqte&sym=GFQ17
