My wife is a nurse & she told me to buy this stock, mostly because of Abraxane. I investigated the call options when the stock was about 38 a few weeks ago. I couldn't believe how expensive the January 40 calls were compared to the April 35s. I mean you could get the April 35s for less than $4 more than the January 40s. I figured this was a no brainer so I bought some April 35s and sold an equal number of January 40s.

Well, buying either of those options outright would have been a better return than buying the spread like I did, but I'm very happy with my 40% profit, because there was hardly any risk in it.

Ideally, I'd like to see APPX decline a bit over the next week and a half, so I can keep MORE of those nice APril calls. Haven't decided yet whether to keep some of the April 35 calls after I buy back the January 40s.
