<<has it worked out for you? >>

Nah, I don't mess around with expirations. I exclusively "trade" options, but buy them three months out, and generally unwind them 2 months after that, and not during expiration week. This is very unscientific, but I used to think that the market makers and specialists 'pinned' the stock price, but now tend to think it's more the gravitational pull of the options being excercised.

One thing I will say, can't wait for more stocks to get the June series, because that's the sweet spot right now, and they aren't available on most stocks...
