Good to read a positive message on ABTX. Management screw-ups, short sellers and Flaming idiots not withstanding, Most of us are holding shares and wondering what happens next.

I too have made a buck or two trading in and out of ABTX. To tell the truth, I have allowed myself to get "shaken out" a couple of times. Sure picked the wrong time to hold tight.

I know it's not kosher to reveal the extent of ones holding, but I'll break the rule to illustrate my break even plan. I'm holding 3000 shares at a cost of 12 1/2. I sold 30 12.5 covered calls at 1 1/2 making my break even price 11. Unless there is a dramatic reversal of events the call will expire worthless and I will be able to write more calls on February 22. With luck I can be even in a couple months.

For those of you who are truly long term this play can be very risky in that any quick rise in price would find you "called out". However, I you wish to be out at 10 or 12 1/2 or 15, Covered calls can get you there with time. Better then selling at this price.

Just a thought, bd
