Wildstar,

You are not crazy; just following your instinct... as I did --- believing that there should be a bounce next week.

... But I bought a 10 Call In the Money Mar 45 with almost no Time premium left. I was hoping that if the stock bounces about 2 dollars and my Option appreciates 1 dollar then I could pocket 1K by selling it quick... I'm also a small time Day/Week Trader aside from being Long most of the time.

With the stock down more than 20% from its All Time HI, there is not much downside risk. It's true the Mar Option has just 3 weeks to go but has a little or nothing to lose in Time Value. I can always Roll Over the Option later on if I need more time to profit from it.

Of course even your Out the Money Option will go up in value as the stock bounces.
