  1. So, back in late Feb, I bought 20 of the Jan 21, 2022 $1 call options on Chesapeake. At the time, stock was trading ~$.20, so they were way out of the money by $.80. They did a 200 for 1 reverse stock split. Now the symbol on them is CHK1. Share price is basically the same at $40 now, $.20 then factoring in the multiple of 200. In my trading account, they are still listed as the same call, 20 call options, $1 strike but CHK1 (they added the 1) Advisors were of no help at brokerage, because they obviously didn't get it. These options were trading basically what I paid $.09 a piece right before the split, then all of a sudden, post reverse split, they are $.01 offer, with no bid. How the hell does that happen, and why didn't the OCC just reprice them to $200 strike price? Thanks in advance
