Jim, you're too late! Just for grins, before I went on vacation to North Carolina to visit family, I put in an order to sell the July 17 1/2 ODP for 5/16 and it executed before my plane landed!

I saw (still see) NO WAY ODP could close at or above 17 1/2, with a lower than estimated earnings announcement expected during expiration (payday) week. I figured I'd grab as much of those friendly call buyers money as possible before the next DIP(PITY). However, I'm not sure I'll DO anything until the options I just sold expire worthless (it's only 5 days). But, then angain, anything's possible.

Look for a dip the week of the 13th after the earnings announcement!

On the other hand, I could be wrong, and OPD shoots back up to $18.00 and I'll be "STUCK" with my current profits when I'm called out...Naaah!

;-))
