jimleo: >The question is how can somone short ZTEL or
buy puts without paying big $$$ for premiums?

You did mean ZITL, right? I bought March puts, and I paid a big premium. But, since ZITL is so volatile and no-one seems to know the short-term direction, the premium is still there. I have seen no erosion of the premium on the puts I paid for. Over a month of course, there will be some erosion. How much, who can say. I am sleeping like a baby at night. Time is on my side, not on ZITL's.

Dwight.
