why buy the listed options, page-2

I see your points but think, like all options, buyers think see upside, but don't want the risk of the head share. Buying the option is leveraging.

RRT historically is not liked by institutions, among other things, because distributions, thought high yielding, have not been regular. If this changes, there's a lot of upside to be had. With banks taking large positions, pressure will be on RRT to make regular payments, and if I'm right the SP will rise reflecting this. Option holders, then, will be enjoy enhanced upside...

Maybe i should buy some............
