option price discount

How does the market handle the option price discount?

Let's say someone holds LRF heads and intend to hold for the longer term. Would it not be understandable if they sold the heads now when they can buy the options at such a discount?

The option price differential would in itself add pressure to the sell-off of head shares.

This should mean that the LRF price will really take off once the options cease trading, i.e. 12 January 2007.

Is this reasoning plausible?
