Was in this stock a long time; watched the price go down deerie down; learned about stops; got stopped out. Could be on the brink of something; always has been; but then again. Forced Neil Braun out of management team on iCast--not a good sign; must delay launch; Neil is a highly regarded manager in the entertainment community; maybe DW is not a good "manager" of people and he's got a lot of assimilating to do with all his acquisitions on the operating side--which I don't think was part of their original VC gameplan--don't think I'll buy back in. But I may try calls or leaps; could be something there..... Good luck to you all--

You are right on. Your downside is $2500. I just think you may be overly optimistic that the stock's appreciation will keep up with the decay in the time premium. January is just really near term. I know they would've cost more, but I would have felt better going out til April or so. I guess that's what makes a market...everyone has a different risk threshold.

At first, I thought you were nuts to buy the Jan 190 calls, but then you said you will sell part to recover the cost.... and the AltaVista IPO should be nearing at that time. Good luck! I might try it myself, but I will probably stick to a more conservative 10 Jan 140 calls.

Gustaf, I knew there is something strange about your post when I read it. Well, it's a 4 bagger so far. I was planning to close my short term calls last Monday have I not read your post. I thought, what the ****, there's someone crazier than me. And it paid out quite well. Thanks, funny how those little comments can make a lot of difference.
