Funny how everyone is going nuts over GUMM moving up or down a few points and I just hit OPAY for a 12-point scalp in less time than it takes Dan to write one of his epics.

Yes, that's what I've been noting as well. Bought a few of the Jan 40s with the stock at 38, a few of the April 45s with the stock at 42, and looking for a few more opportunities like that. Volatility premium is shocking low compared even to other large-cap tech stocks, and the market for those options is reasonably fluid. With a core position entry point just below 20, this could turn out to be one of my biggest winners of the year. mg

re: COMS and GUMM Bill, I've been a bit of a fan of COMS for some time, picked some up early in the year around 22 and sold for a bit of a profit later. Uhhhh, looks like I shoulda held ;-) . But that's not why I write. I just wanted to thank you for giving the GUMM shills such a complete workout, the kind of conditioning that perhaps could only be improved upon by including a daily helping of Purina Tout Chow in their diets. Your altruism in taking time to help them keep up their promotional skills is truly admirable. For this they should worship and adore you, preferably in some public fashion incorporating self-humiliation. Whatever else may be true about GUMM, off the top of my head I could name 100 stocks I would invest in before GUMM, and could probably expand that list to several hundred were I to undertake the research. People's investment goals and opinions differ, but I just don't see why being long in GUMM is so desirable. It certainly does seem like the party is over for the moment.
