Well, as a holder of both COMS stock and 3 different series of calls I'm as much a cheerleader and fantasizer as the rest of y'all longs. HOWEVER, there are MANY factors that enter into the mix - world events, e.g., China vs. Taiwan; overall tenor of the market (especially NASDAQ); Greenspan, his jawboning and how it coincides schedule-wise with our much-awaited IPO... etc. That's why I would NOT be buying the March 100 calls that many folks on other, more wild & wooly message boards are touting. Those are TOO FAR OUT and there are other, less reckless option plays that will still produce nice percentage moves due to leverage. (Watch, in 10 days someone will do a "Roast with the Post" by quoting this Ebeneezer Scrooge advice after COMS roars to $120!) There's no such thing as a sure thing and I've been shot down numerous times when all indications seemed to dovetail with my hypothesis and options strategy. Having said that, this COMS/PALM affair certainly DOES seem to have a whole lot going for it and my adrenalin is percolating! Time will tell... GOOD LUCK to all COMS L O N G S !!!
