Tim,

any particular reason why you picked october? the shorter term options would provide a higher % return. for example, Jul 17.5C = 3.5 and 17.5P = 4.5.

Missed this part last night. I just used the October's for ease of example. The July's will yield a greater annualized return with a slightly higher break even point. I actually have both.

I won't attempt to analyze the gene therapy drugs in the pipeline but they are potentially huge markets however none are in phase III trials yet. They have a 12% stake in Abgenix (ABGX) which has a product (XenoMouse technology)that is used by other gene companies in their research. Do your DD and I think you will like what you see. Risk/reward seems to be excellent. Options have very high premium and can be used to significantly lower risk and generate a nice return.

Regards,

Ken
