On Fidelity, I am selling 100 options CONTRACTS of stock XYZ for a current price of $0.20 a share.
If I go to the Investments tab on mint.com, the total Market Value of these options I am selling is listed as 100 * $0.20 = $20.
1 CONTRACT is actually 1 share. So I really have 10000 shares. Thus the real market value is $2000.
