taxman, Those MSFT options are getting unusually cheap. If this stock was to blast through 100 by late next week---aggressive options buyers could make a "killing". If it gets weaker by the end of the week (90 to 92), maybe the 95s could give the same results. The only problem is that MSFT reports on Tuesday, the 20th while Options expire Friday before that. If the earnings report was on a Monday after expiration, conditions would have been ideal for a big time hit on out of the money. The way it is now depends upon how the stock goes into the late next week. Weakness this week and early next would be ideal for an aggressive call option buyer. I am going to pass on this one.
