Hmmm...so what are folks doing here at $15.......buying, selling...??

Waffling <g>. I sold November 15 calls today at $2 each on all my (remaining) IRA shares - thus my "breakeven" is $17 on November 16th (unless I cover before then, yada yada...).

I see a lot of volatility here, and a possible breakout, but who knows? Not me, certainly. In the end the premium was just too rich to pass up (since I sold them when we hit $16, about a buck of that $2 was time premium, so we have a $1/$16 = 6.25% return if NTAP stays anywhere above 15 until expiration - not bad for a two-week wait).

I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but I think we'll spike downward at least once before we head up again - which is when I'd hope to cover (or buy back my shares if I've already been called out).
