...Selling covered calls, which some posters have reported doing from time to time, strikes me as especially unwise in the case of MNTA. I wouldn't call it unwise... If the stock goes up, the covered call seller will not share in the gains he could have had, but if the stock goes down, he's got a little bit of "income" to cushion the fall. I think it all depends on what one's angle is - getting paid for holding a position (covered calls), buying and holding the stock, or buying an option as speculation. What I don't get about MNTA is the short interest increase. A short is a naked call! Seemingly, one must be awfully comfortable, rich, or clueless to short MNTA... OR maybe they know something we don't! A penny for your thoughts.
