Wasting

The concept of time decay refers to the gradual decline in value of an option as time passes. This is due to the fact that with each day that goes by, a portion of the option's time value is lost. As such, it is crucial for investors to keep track of time decay and factor it into their decision-making process when dealing with options. This can greatly impact the profitability of their investments.
