Thanks. trading still halted at @ 11:45; CBOE site is reporting 98/99 bid asked on options (their way of halting trading, I guess) & reports are of 26/29 bid/ask. Wish I could claim foresight. In fact, this spring when I bought a block of stock, cost basis was @8 or 9. Looked at options then and thought 'too expensive and risky'. Silly me. It is only luck that a couple of days ago, I bought the calls with an idea of a short term momentum play with time as insurance if I played it wrong.
