Booking Triple-Digit Percentage Gains in Technology Options

With Google’s (GOOG) stock soaring over 10% in this morning’s trading, your December $900 call options have jumped.

I’m seeing a bid of $81.60 on my screen as I write this. You bought it for $31.65, making this a 158% gainer.

Big jumps like this mean that there is a lot of embedded volatility (gamma) in the options, and they are likely overvalued.

Sell all of your Google options here to lock in these big quick gains, before the stock settles down.
