Hey, Anyone notice that Nov 25 calls are still 2 bucks! Even with a close just
above $25, and expiration in a little over 2 weeks, these things STILL closed at
$2.

I guess the perceived volatility is high. If you believe there's a pretty good chance that
ASND will spike to 28 or 29, at least briefly, some time in the next 2 1/2 weeks, then
being long these options looks like a good deal. And if you believe there's also a small,
but not tiny, chance that a merger announcement could pop the stock to 42 overnight
between now and expiration ....


Look at the call options that expire worthless if the stock is say $30-$34?

Got go to work today?
