I was checking out prices this afternoon, but didn't pull the trigger. Some UXQs were also looking pretty good. (PRIA) And I wouldn't mind owning more there neither should I get assigned early. I'm expecting more volatility up until Oct 5th, so I expect reasonably attractive prices during the next week or so. Best wishes, Ian.

John, Suggestion taken. The favourable pricing disappeared on the UXQs so I sold some QQMs while the selling was good. <g> This time I might actually get the shares, if Phil's concerns materialize. Unfortunately, earnings announcement and conference call 3 weeks prior to expiry will probably force me to just keep the premium. :-) Worst case, I just might catch up to your share count; but I'd have to sell a few more contracts first. It really is nice of those specialists at the Pacific Exchange to give me a 12.5% discount on a stock that I'd like to have more of; and if they don't deliver, those guys are so nice, they just let me keep the 12.5% discount that they paid me up front. Life can really be great! Best wishes, Ian.
