What does it mean when the opening interest goes down from the previous day? Also, would you consider it bullish or bearish when put OI goes up/ call OI goes up?

Mike: Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You wrote <<a stock would go up by the end of the year, I would probably buy the at the money calls in Dec or Jan and sell the strike nearest my target price for the stock.>> I am wondering whether one should sell calls with the strike price(same as target price)immediately or as the stock recovers. Also, what you think about buying out-of-money calls(near strike price)vs. above strategy from risk adjusted returns point of view.
