Herm,
In your trading, do you avoid this type of situation? The reason I ask is because I find it tempting to jump in and purchase either July 27.5 or 30 calls tomorrow to make money as the MMs drive the price back up before Friday.
From your experience, is it too dangerous to do this at this point or not worth the hassle given that you already went thru one cycle of this and now own the stock? Another option might be August calls which do not expire next week and would also move up. Already owning some VVUS stock, one could just sell the calls, once the stock moves up to $40, in this way lowering net cost of owning VVUS. Thanks for the input.
