Exactly! Those where my sentiments prior to reading that news item. Perhaps I've misread that paragraph, your explaination sounds plausable. But coupled w/ the .5 drop near close and the option quotes I recieved caused me to think 30 at the open for Monday...Just like ADI and AWRE (I think) a manipulated shake out before a breakout.Check the ADI chart. 600 Oct40 calls doesn't concern me, they are only 1/8 I show 1649 traded. My concern was the rise in put ask/bid and the decline in call ask/bid. So, coupled w/ the .5 pt drop near close I had my speculative fears.

It doesn't mean anything if you hold the stock long. It is only a concern for to me since I'm very heavy in options and getting out of money.

Gary, OK, I did misinterpret that paragraph. It troubled me cause the article was upbeat. not 33% of but from estimate. Because I was looking for .20 or better not .18, The accountants can make that no. even better, and thats the small surprise I'm looking for.
