I sold the 45 put and and 85 call on CREE, June. I'm not good at TA or competing with a bank of computers, and my eyes glaze over when I wander into the greeks, so use the "would I be happy with" metric in deciding these things. I'm also just as likely to buy the options back in the hopes of selling them again (and again). How's that for discipline. Part of it is what I currently own and what I've recently sold, which affects the strikes I favor. With POT, I sold the June 135 call and the 90 put. The puts are covered by cash and the calls are covered by stock. They don't call me chicken for nothin. ARS
