Alan, how's that a hedge? Are you short ASND? <<I bought some May 40C (QQAEH) today as a hedge against other ASND positions.>> For the past 1.5 weeks, I've been playing both sides using a variety of combos -- letting profits run. On Friday I released one leg of a spread, exposing the position. Today's QQAEH offset the position creating a parabolic P/L curve. Unless ASND hangs @35, the profits run. FYI, I selected May because it's undervalued and offers much flexibility. For example, should ASND ascend (as many hope) the comparable APR calls can be sold short to lock profit for QQAEH -- depending on time value, momentum, etc. Sorry for the long-winded answer. Good luck.
