JP, The problem with holding the Feb 150s past earnings is that if they don't announce a split and come in at the whisper number---the premium is going to be lost. That is why I am hoping for at LEAST a $5 run up Tuesday, which I think is going to happen (expecting $8 again). It may not be worth holding on to the Feb 150s under such a scenario. That whisper number could be between 60 to 63 cents depending on the run up we get on Tuesday (I personally don't care for whisper numbers). I think their "real" earnings are going to be a blow out. However, if they are not, I expect to see a big increase in the unearned revenue account (currently at 3.1MIL). Either way, we will know what they really made. This is another reason why the whisper number does not really matter. I am expecting big numbers but will probably hold stock going into earnings and not options (maybe I will keep a few April calls).
