OT - Jill, I own quite a few Oct calls on QCOM but I'm thinking of selling soon based on the 35 point move. I buy and sell calls daily and I constantly run spreadsheets to try to decide which ones to buy. The only way to make the best decision is to have some idea of where the stock will end up. If I were buying January - with a gorilla like QCOM - I wouldn't go very deeply in the money. I'd probably look at 180-200 with the idea that time is on my side. Good luck. Co

OT Jill, i did not read Voltaire's comments before I sold my EBAY calls this morning--with about 100% gain and bought some QCOM's October 210 only with the 'winnings'. I down on these somewhat but am playing only with the money i made on Ebay. Stock was at 195 when i bought. Considering how strong Q is, i am not worried even with October calls. I sold some JDSU calls that i had been holding with about 25% gain and plan to buy them back tomorrow(the market closed before i got my order out). Other new purchases for me will be November and beyond---unless we get a big selloff tomorrow. Then i won't be able to resist the October calls ahead of the FED meeting.
