Hi Catbird,

yes, the historical low volatility makes these options cheap. I noticed myself get slightly bit on PPRO calls, even tho up 5 today, my calls are only up a smidge from last week, obviously they inflated last week because of volatility. So here we are--if QCOM was going to make any move, now's the time to buy options. Kumar did us the expected favor today--I'm starting to talk like Volty now but I've really begun to believe it--let's bring the NAZ back, how do we do that, revise INTC downward. And let's pick up some stock before it runs. Etc. I may therefore dip into QCOM calls if we have another down day tomorrow.

My ? is can the retail investor get over the "once burned, shame on you, twice burned, shame on me?" I.E. are there enuf people who will never get back on the horse? What do you think about that psychology--200 down to 60 is one fast ride.

I bought some gblx at the close. I'm happy w/ my EXTR position and on any futher pullbacks will add w/ RR's March 70s. I currently have March 100s and common.
