I've lost several thousand on my recent call option purchases and I am now only up 15% from my average purchase price of the stock itself over the past few years. However, when I add in my other option trades I made when I felt Overture was over- or under-valued, I have netted about 45% in three years. Not bad for a market that has declined during the same period.

Yes, I STILL feel Overture is undervalued. They are not acquiring these search engines without reason. It may dilute their earnings in the short-run, but they are buying them because they know that by fully integrating their paid listings into the existing user bases these engines already have, they will be creating a highly profitable model. I think Overture is getting sick of splitting their revenues with their partners... by acquiring their partners they no longer have to - everything is kept in-house!

I am leveraging up even higher. I just purchased 50 May 20 calls. When investors realize why Overture is making these acquisitions, there will be a rebound.
