<prompt> Human: Hi, I have some stock options at 4.8stock from my previous employer. The stock has been trading in a range of 1.8 to 2.4 in the recent weeks. I have changed jobs in the last month, but have a 90 day period to make a decision about exercising the options.Is there any way that exercising the options will be of benifit to me? Edit: Thank you for all the comments. The stock options are held with a brokerage firm but have not been able to figure out if the options can be traded.  <response>: Nope, it sure wont. Youd be out the extra cost you pay on the stock immediately. If you wanted to buy stock, just buy it on the open market.
