One thing is for sure, paying above market price will reduce potential profits.
Lets check a simple example:
Say that you are looking to take up your quota of 1000 new CDU share at $2.50, get the "free" options and then later take up the second 1000 shares at $2.50.
That will cost $5000 all up to own an extra 2000 shares.
If that is your desire, then why not buy 2000 shares today at $2.06 for a total of $4120?
You would be ahead by $880 which can be added to your profit number.
It also shows that those "free" options are actually costing 88c each. Oh what a bargain they are!
No advice here at all. Just some primary school level maths.
