Call option?

i bought 10 call option for a stock,it is worth less now.it would cost me more to sell what they are worth[in commission].what should i do?would it cost me to let them expire?

There is nothing much you can do than to let the options expire. When you let it expire, it will not cost you anything and you do not need to pay the commission.

Do not Ever Exercise your Worthless Options !! It will cost you a BOMB

If you let the call option expire you lose the entire amount that the options cost you. You do not owe any commissions when they expire.

Yes, let them lapse. No, no cost

Don't forget that you get a deduction for the loss on the cost of your call option if it expires worthless. Remember that next year, as broker's aren't required to list options on their 1099-B tax reports. It's likely a short-term loss (if the option was not held for longer than 1 year) and will offset any capital gains that you have or up to $3000 of your income. Any amount over that is carried forward.
If you don't know these facts about options, you probably shouldn't be buying them.
