I own 20 Mar 40 calls and am considering purchasing
an additional 30. I would appreciate your short term
view of where this stock is going.


Rick,

I'm infamous for my short term timing, so take this with a grain of salt, but I would (1) not buy any more Mar 40 calls and (2) sell those you have. If you are bullish on the stock, and you want to do it through options, you might instead write Mar 35 naked puts and take in time premium.

I say the above because I think there is a real chance that ASND will not close March expiration above 40. If that is so, then your Mar 40 calls are just going to lose and lose time value during the next three weeks (it is all time value now, no intrinsic value).

This is just my opinion, and you have to make your own decisions.
