It means $appl rose faster in price than expected at the creation of the option and the 40% increase represents the option's updated value if I had to try to put it into layman's terms.

### REPLY:
Ok so the +$52k of value is because people are gambling on the option itself and not based on the strike price of the shares?  I’m confused on where the money he would get by selling - where would it come from?  From someone buying the option from him or from the actual brokerage that sold the call in the first place that’s willing to buy him out before Apple potentially hits $227?
