Default Re: Buying call options

[ QUOTE ]
-To simplify say you have call prem. of $5 per share & strike price of $50.
-Your stock is sitting @ $45. At prices of $50 and above you will exercise the call. (In the money)

[/ QUOTE ]
Wouldn't you want to exercise at $5<u>5</u> and above, because of the $5 cost of the option?

[/ QUOTE ]

You would still exercise it because you would rather break even then lose the cost of the option.
