Ah!!! I wished I had done that.

Thius morning I wanted to call my broker and buy some Nov. 105 Intc calls, but I realized I needed to have sent in the application for options trading as well as have cash in my account since I am fully invested. I was certain INTC was gonna' be above $110 after earnings, but I didn't go for the trade because of the reasons mentioned above.

The only soothening thought was that I wasn't being greedy, I saw a real opportunity at hand to make big quick $$ with savings in my account but I didn't care about it enough to hastle wiring the money and faxing the application to my broker. I regret it a bit especially because my IOMG only went up $1 while INTC $7+. However there is hope for IOMG now that it seems to have found a pillar to rest gainst until the earnings report on Thursday with volume on the rise. Now here is another opportunity, I expect IOMG to be around $27 after earnings but would I go for the kill, the options, probably not because of past mistakes. At this point I wanna' break even before I try to make profit. I will make an effort to understand the market a little better before I do options, may be you can advise.

BTW lats time IOMG posted earnings back in JULY the sdtock took a nose dive of -$5 or more, let's see what happens now.

Thanks.
P.S. If I bot Nov. 105 calls for intc this morning, what would they be worth now that the price of the stock is above $110??
