Question

Q. A friend of yours tells you she holds an American call option that is very deep-
in-the-money. She tells you she’s going to exercise it now and cash in on her
winnings. Is this a wise move to make?

- The answer to this question is given below but I don't understand the explanation, please clearly explain in simple     terms. 


No, she should sell it. Sell now you get intrinsic value PLUS time value,
rather than exercise now which leads to just S-X.
