Fifteen or so years ago the oil price was on its back (around $10 a barrel) and Tech Boom (v.1) was in full swing. I recall trying to sell a BP call warrant, at its intrinsic value. “No Thanks...” said a renowned guru investor - who was probably the equivalent of Neil Woodford before Neil Woodford was Neil Woodford - “...but what have you got Nokia 3 month ATM calls?” So I sold him some of those at 75% implied vol.
