XIRC was a really was a great pick!! Interestingly on the day it
closed at 15 1/2 I looked up CBOE and Sept 17 1/2 were trading
just over 1. The option price never caught up to the intrinsic value
that day so I considered excercising so called my broker to figure
out what discount he had being a market maker. I left an order to excercise next day if the math was the same. Next day it opened
2 points up.

I got rid of all 10 XIRC Sept 17 1/2 at 1 (bought at 1/4) and half my Dec 15 at 1 1/8 (bought at 5/16). Both trades were in the spread.
Between the spread always fills with my full service broker. With my
online it doesnot even get to the floor forever.

I am going to let my Dec 15 run way after Lord Greenspan's charms fades away.
