Thread, here's hoping that intl and cpq earnings have an updrift effect and pull asnd
above 35...


Steve, I believe both intel and cpq will meet or beat the estimates. I sold covered calls for Oct 35 @3/4 and bought the Oct 30 puts as you had suggested, for insurance, against a worse case earning scenerio. Today, I tryed to buy back the calls but they never met my target.
Question, would you buy back the calls even at a loss rather than risk being called(my cost on the stk is about $41). I guess what I am really asking is, how much effect do you estimate a positive earnings report from Intel would have on asnd?

regards,

Ray
