A position which may satisfy members of both clans here
on the Ascend thread may be selling the Dec30P for 2 1/8-1/4.
If you think the stock will tank after earnings, then you are
covered down to ~28 (although you probably won't get delivered
the stock at that point). If you think the stock will go up
after earnings but don't want to buy the stock outright, then
you are also fine collecting the premium. If you don't have
an opinion either way, you get a stock in a sound company
which we all seem to agree will see the 50's again...but just
seem to disagree on the time frame...at a discount. In any
case, making nearly 100% in 6-12 months isn't all that bad, no?
