For the last few months I've been adding shares by first buying cheap option calls, often with a month or less to expiration. With IMGN on the rise approaching approval of MIRV and other news later in the year those calls were well in the money by expiration, my available margin funds had grown well over the cost of the shares, and I choose to add the shares rather than simply taking a profit that was at least a 5 banger on the calls. I haven't spent much money in buying the calls, normally about $.15 a share for shares substantially out of the money. If on expiration the calls are over $.50 cents in the money the least I have is better than a triple gain, more importantly my buy power is up far more than what I'm intending to purchase.

If you agree with me that by the time we gain approval, which I believe could come in October or November, we'll be approaching double digit share prices and that we'll end the year in double digits, you'll see where investing a few hundred on cheap calls could be worth many thousands near term, and tens of thousands over time
