Linda,

I know you do a lot of options trading. Have you ever tried looking at options prices with respect to the time of the month? i.e. AAPL's price gets suppressed a day or two before the expiration date each month; so but calls for a month or two out on Thur or Fri of expriation week, then sell them on the following Mon or Tue. For example, buy Jan99 37.5 calls today or tomorrow, then sell them next Tue when AAPL's price returns to its "normal" (read non-options-expiration-date depressed prices).

This could also be a trading scheme for the stock itself, but I thought it might be more rewarding in options, but I'm not experienced in options to know if this is a viable trading scheme.
