2. 97% return in 15 months:

Paul: Not to picky, but aren't you ignoring the collateral requirement on the naked short put in the calculation of the return?

Note: some may think that 96% return in 15 months is too low ... VBG

That would be me. ;-) I vote for just buying the calls:

I expect (IMHO) the stock will be trading over $400 before Jan 01 for a greater than 300% ROIC, or ~ 182% per annum profit for 16 mo.(@ $53/sh/call).

Disclosure: Am holding ZNOAR'S (@ 34 5/8) anticipating ~ 500% ROIC, or ~ 254% per annum profit for 17 mo....<VVBG>

(And, monkeys might fly out of my...well, you know.)

Good Luck All
Kelly
