This cartoon shows a case where the investor made a profit, but a different pathway is plausible as well. It is possible when the expiration date arrives, it turns out the investor paid too much for the option and the strike price is larger than the price of the fishing stock. In which case the investor may decide to not exercise the option. Cartoon Credit: Anna Eshelman, climate.gov.
