Tom, the collapse in premium after earnings is as bad as an option expiration. The stock has to move the better part of a strike price in your direction just for your option to hold its value the next day. If you're on the wrong side, you're done.

This is one reason I like to play spreads rather than just going long the option of choice, because I'm not as hamstrung by premium decay

Tom, I am more interested in price than staged events for Rambus. I don't want to buy my next puts until par. I am in pretty good shape if it goes down without hitting par. Notice, nary one company with a Rambus chip in their product. Just cos. that serviced or tested Rambus chips. Hmmmmm! <g>
