Bahh, you got it easy! November calls? No problem. Plenty of time for AOL to make 120 a distant memory. Let's hear what people with October calls are doing.

I sold the 120 October calls about two weeks ago before this massive run up. Now I am debating whether to sit tight and hope that by options expiration it will hover around 120, or roll them into the November 140's. To answer the question, I am long on AOL but my strategy was to sell covered calls far enough out of the money so that I could enjoy the proceeds and not have to worry to much by options expiration. Worked for the August and September months. I didn't think that it would make such a large sudden move up (in October yet!?!). Now I am at the money. Opinions anyone? David
