Jorj, you may want to watch the AMAT June call volume. The 20 Calls are up 40% today and up 80% from levels a couple days ago. With AMAT down from $28 recently, they could do really well tomorrow IF, I say, IF the B2B is good and they decide to ramp up the SOX tomorrow. This reminds me a little of May 7th when call volume increased rather dramatically from its norm. Of course, you and hopefully all reading this thread and mine, know the extreme dangers of buying options. That said, I buy them selectively and often do well. Earlier this year, FNM calls went up 700%, HAL options 550%, and MIR options expired worthless (i.e. then went up 300% the following month as I was a month early -- oh well!). Newbies should NOT play options except for maybe hedging or with a little fun money perhaps. They are too dangerous.
