Can You Play One Day Options On Stocks In The Two and Three Dollar Range?

Why would you want to? Well consider this. Big Bear Ai. It's a $3.00 per share stock. Could Call options on this stock that expire tomorrow double in price on the opening?

On Thursday it's Calls that expire on Friday closed at $.05 after hitting a high of $.10 on the day. $.05 is $5.00 dollars a contract. Ten contracts would cost you $50.00.
