Just "discovered" this thread! Way cool man. Been doing Options on our favorite apes QCOM, MSFT and GMST(F)(since Mar '97 cost basis ~ 3) --also am a long term common holder on all three. Just wondering, what the impact of GSTBN & GSTBO(Feb 70/75) will be on the expiration. Conventional wisdom would suggest that GMST would go down significantly tomorrow. The open interest on these two strikes is just phenomenal(by gmst standards)!!! My positions for tomorrow 2/18: Mgn MSQNS MSQ FEB 95 PUTS 50S 3/4 7/16 -5/16 1/2 -2,500.00 Mgn MSQNT MSQ FEB 100 PUTS 30S 3 1/4 2 -3/4 2 1/2 -7,500.00 Mgn UQKBH UQK FEB 40 CALLS 30S 02/16/00 8 1/8 -24,375.00 Mgn GSTNL GST FEB 60 PUTS 60S 02/10/00 1 5/8 -9,750.00 Mgn GSTNN GST FEB 70 PUTS 50S 02/14/00 1 3/4 -8,750.00 Total XXXXXXXXXXXXX Looking like all these will expire worthless tomorrow except for UQKBH calls which are offset by some march calls. MSQNT is teetering on the edge, but the downside is that I will be assigned 3000 MSFT @ 100. I feel very comfortable holding some additional MSFT shares @ this level!
