For example you make 9 percent for a one-month investment but you do not know what your return will be for the remaining 11 months of the year. You might be able to reinvest at only 5 percent and would have been better off investing in a certificate of deposit at 8 percent for a year. All discussions of return should also be tempered with the risk. One strategy might make 10 percent while another strategy makes 9 percent.

The return if exercised would be the 2 profit on the option divided by the 50 price of the stock. The annualized return would be 2 50 X 12 3 or 1 25 X 4 or 16 percent. Note that the initial investment was assumed to be 50 for the stock. The return-if-exercised would be significantly different if the stock had been bought on margin. The cost of borrowing the money would then have to be taken into account. Also note that
