Jim,
What do you mean "ABDE dead in the water for now?" I am looking at the possibility of selling 35 puts and picking up 35 calls for the Oct contracts. Net debit is 3/4 per contract. Looks nice, and the stock looks poised to move up towards the 40 level during the beg. of July. Please explain your comment here.

Also, since there has been some free sharing of opportunities, I would like to serve up for your analysis FSCX (Fastcomm). This stock is looking like she'll move from her 7 1/4 position up to 10-12 very shortly. Basis is primarily on sales contract awards, as well as some good news in the works. There is a thread following the stock closely if you care to check it out. I've held the position, selling covered calls and naked puts, for quite sometime.

Since reading some of your's and Chen's post, I wonder if there would be any interest in starting a thread that would track a ficticious group portfolio of those stocks that received concensus votes. This would help to call to each of our attentions the opportunities that come to the others attention and provide some 'third party critical feedback'. I know that I appreciate my brokers set of eyes before I make a move, and I think this may prove helpful and cause me to look at some different alternatives to play those situations I agree with.

Lastly, I have been wrestling all weekend with taking my 350% profit in two days on my AOL options. Part of me says to go for the juggler, the other part says don't be a pig. I'm leaning toward the juggler tonight, but will check it out as the market opens. I've sold the 1/98 65 calls and bought the 7/97 65 puts. Would appreciate your critical feedback even if you don't see post until the market is under way.
