blankmind,

What is your take on next week? Do we get a pop from expiration hold back, or a fade from having pushed the stock up to 35 at expiration?

Given concerns over Iraq, given the unpredictability of next week and given that there is some likelihood of a fade in ASND sometime within the next few weeks (if only because of a lull before earnings), I think it may make sense to lighten up just a tad.

I would keep my naked Mar 40 puts and Jun 35 puts (as they still have time premium that I don't want to pay for to repurchase), but maybe give up a small percentage of shares for a while.

Your thoughts?
