<It seems to me that not going out farther than one month is an indication that folks see a possibility of huge short term movement. >

Like 'Dduuuhhhhh', earnings come out this cycle [Nov.]... this is typical of any tech stock.... the whole article was 'Duhh' IMO... you look at the open interest in most tech stocks and it all gets lumped around earnings. Another great example of TSC 'reaching' for news. Those guys are pathetic.

<If they were risk adverse, as the article suggests, they would go out farther, not do options that expire in less than 4 weeks.>

No, because the risk is in the earnings announcements.
