Question about CTPO on Etrade

[lukelee]

Hi, guys, just got confused about ctpo, why is the "Cost Basis" 0.000?, and latest ctp price is 0.025, but on the screen print, the "Last Price" is 0.020??? and the "Change" is "up 0.005", where does this number come from?
I tried to sell it, but I couldn't. What can I do with CTPO?

Thanks

I have attached a screen print on etrade platform:

Lukelee, you can insert your own cost basis. Go to "My Portfolio" and look for the link which allows you to alter anything on your p/f page.

Thanks, Julia, I have found the link. Now I can change the "Basis Cost" and "Date Acquired", but still confusing whats that for? if I change "Basis Cost" to "0.01, does that mean I buy at this price?
I know this is CTP options, but have no idea about how to trade.
Thank you for your help.

Are you serious? Don't you keep records? What about the contract notes?

It should be somewhere in folder. I will find it.
Just quick question, the option will be expired in 2014,what will happen if I just leave it in my portfolio until 2014?
