Philip, options are risky whether they're in or out of the money

I know it doesn't make you feel any better, but the last 7 days have been brutal to me too (among others). I too have stock and options, and my options have gotten slammed this past week as the stock fell over 13% from its high. And, I hold both in the money and out of the money calls. They ALL got whacked.

Ken had posted about the success of his bull spread a few days ago. Even though this is an excellent strategy (as I do the same myself at times), I guarantee you that Ken is not so happy today either. It is the nature of options.

Regarding the volatility of the stock, I agree with you. On November 30, I was doing just fine. Now, I'm in the hole again after taking this last 4 point decline.

Depending on what options you hold, don't give up all hope. As quickly as this stock moves down, it goes back up.

Just cross your fingers and take a valium. I'll be praying with you.
