I put in limit orders. If I really want it I put in at the ask otherwise a midpoint.

I never do market. Got burned once that way. Learned my lesson. (They held my order for a while and filled it at the high of the day and immediately the price came down 5 points)

You just get more bang for your buck with DIM than if you play the common.

Ed makes a very good point and it's something I haven't learned well yet, which is the timing of the play, for maximum premium because of volatility/psychology. For instance, when QCOM started to run, more premium was immediately added into the calls/leaps the following day.

Gblx is oversold--if you look at the chart 40 is pretty good support. So you sell puts when oversold. It has sold off from a recent hi of 58 I believe.
