Bill; I chart the options, and look for a ready made market, the WDCDW april 17.5 call is a beauty..right now 3/4 , if she hit 16 it'd be about 1/2 maybe 3/8..lots of OI..most sold over 1.50 to 3.50...get them at 3/8 and any bounce will be good for a double.. March 11th I got wdccc at 1.25.., March 13 sold it at 2.25, like at the race track, picking dogs is one thing, playing the crowd is another..I've said before with options your in a third world market..you need good OI..with people bought in way on top of you..a small move in your favor causes them to want to average down..you got a ready made market.. if you don't pick a good market you go to sell the MM, just skews the price, you don't make frazz..I done lost enough money in options to write a book..wait till you lose 20grand then write me a book on options, ..it's hard to make up..and you got to learn an angle, and it cost to learn. You be lucky with puts on this dog to get enough to pay commissions. she will bounce around the 16 mark..give or take a bit.. I'll put my bid in at 3/8 if I get it good if I don't no big deal...bet if I get it I do a double faster than lickity split. ------------------ bottoms are easyer to play than tops. safer too, I never charted the puts on WDC heck I don't have too..they are a suckers play at this point in her history, luck may smile on you and I hope it does..I'd rather be lucky than smart any way.
