The shorts and MM must be thinking that they have died and gone to heaven (assuming that any short or market maker ever dreams of having such a chance). Expiration is Friday and the companies bungling of the launch of x2 has allowed the MM and shorts to keep the price below 60 screwing all the purchasers of 60 calls who paid a fortune only a few days ago before it became apparent that x2 is at this point just vaporware. (A bit harsh prehaps but if you look at it objectively the continually delayed shipping dates with varying explanations, the retail ad fiascos and the race to beat ROK at all costs have some of those characteristics.)I just hope the vapor materializes tommorrow or the 55's may be in trouble as well. The real tragedy is that if the x2 launch had happened as advertised the pop would have lifted this stock to 70. Now we will be lucky to get back to 63 or so where we were before the company dropped the ball. Other than the x2 launch I see nothing on the horizon that will provide a lift for this stock. I wish I had taken Scrapps advice and sold this stock a month ago.
