The Power of Leverage Compare Column "J" to Column "Q", the former being the percentage gain in the shares versus the latter, the percentage gain in the options. We look average for a 10 X 1 ratio, for every 1% share gain we see at least a 10% option gain. The table this morning is showing an average of 8.64% share gain to an average of 151.57% option gains. Well within expected option performance parameters, i.e., the power of leverage.
