I know it's 260 options, but I wrote "26k" as it's the right to buy 26k shares (1 option for 100 shares), for consistency with the parents who wrote 550k, meaning 5500 options to buy 550k shares.
Correcting an error with an error, even for the sake of consistency, just perpetuates confusion. The average person probably doesn't even know what an option is, and your post could be read in multiple ways. He bought 26k options? 26k shares? $26k of either?
260 options is WSB lotto territory. At $4 each, that’s a thousand dollar bet. We’re not exactly talking big money here.
