Good call on AXP. Maybe a split coming? Looks like the last time they split was in 87. At about $76. This is what bigcharts.com shows, but this doesn't seem right. Seems to me they have split more recently than that. Oh well either way a split seems to be somewhat eminent. Do you know when they announce earnings? Very good play as April 100 calls are only 1 15/16. If it can hold that 100 level, look out 105. Quick double on your $2 at least. One to watch. Yea and I have been watching WLA and I am baffled. I held calls last month. March 160s. Stock just sat there in the mid to upper 150s. Ended up selling out of my options for about $1 or so. Less than a week later stock up to $166, options worth well over $6. DOH!!!! Also held some MSFT and DELL March when the techs took a crap. Managed to sacrifice a bit of MSFT and rolled over March 85 calls to April 90 calls. Sold out of those for about 1/2 in order to play some other things until earnings on April 17 or whenever they SHOULD have come out. Thought MSFT would just stay flat until then. Less than 3 days after that Bill does something I have never seen him do before, you know as well as I what that was, PREANNOUNCE of BLOWOUT earnings. Then those options were about 2. Now prob. 3 or 4. See the luck that follows me around every day. I'm not one to complain, actually I think it is somewhat comical to think someone could be so unlucky so often. Like I said whenever I give you a play or idea always do the opposite of me and you will retire EARLY and RICH!!!
