Cluka _ As you know I recommend investors avoid all options all the time. Rare exception is in a takeover situation. If you absolutely must speculate in options then I would first recommend SELLING PUTS rather than buying calls - it's a better long play. Once again, however, you should not play with options because you will get burned. I know there will be some posters that get on me about it but I agree with Warren Buffet who thinks there ought to be a law that prevents retail investors from investing in options. Now I'll get off my soap box. With respect to CYMI being over/under valued - I don't want to say just how high I see her running here because I don't want to be labeled a hypester. Needless to say - I believe the party is just starting - the underlying fundamental conditions are fabulous. I will wait to see earnings before I make any comments about the price. We're just too close to the announcement to try to outguess the market impact from that. Everything about how the stock is trading in the market is saying full speed ahead and we're about to enjoy a multiple sequence of great earnings news releases over the coming months. That could cause this stock to explode upward. I tend to think Jay is being conservative in some of his estimates.
