Have you looked at the Jan 30 calls. CPQAF? they are 5/8th or so. And they are due on the 22nd of Jan which should give you almost two reporting periods. Duke

rudedog, looks like a coin toss to me. Any bad news at all and CPQ won't smell 22.5 next month. OTOH, good news and you have a fortune. I can't take the chance of the 100% loss though. Robbie

Somebody really likes the January 25 calls. Over 77 thousand contracts open interest now, and I've been watching it, about 10,000 crossing a day. Might not be a bad speculative play, Compaq has been beaten like a drum.
