Teflon, IMHO, May options are a little too close for me. Remember the Feb 150s. I sold these just before earnings in January at $11; they went as high as 25 or so; expired worthless in February!
I would want to capitalize on the Office2000 earnings run ups next quarter. June/July run - up should be awesome.

The DOJ of course could throw a wrinkle in May and any other options--whether there is a settlement or just the trial.

I would be very cautious about May options, unless you plan to sell these around the April earnings release(a little before). In that case, they are just like April call options.

BTW--I am still holding a lot of April calls.--sold about 65% of these in the last couple of week but still have 35% remaining. My version of "dollar cost averaging".
