I bought some Q when the Q was at 165 in my ira, i sold some jan 165 calls and reaped a 25% return for just 3 months. 25% in 3 months. Anyone who says they saw this move ahead of time is just plain lying. I only wish I had more. You could buy the Q now at 380 and sell the Dec 380s for 40. That's 10.5% for 5 weeks and it's a pretty safe bet that Q will be higher than 380 come mid-Dec. My gosh--$40,000 in 5 weeks.

Heck, just thought of it. You could sell the Nov. 380s for 20. That's 5% for 5 days.

Hello V,
I am curious what you mean by: watch what happens when we get the split. It is going to look like a fight with the In-Laws!? If by that you mean the stock is going to tank, then I would think being prepared to sell calls would be indicated. What do you think the likely scenario is at split time and shortly after? I still think we are going much higher long term.
TIA,
Lane
