Those that have options:

You have three choices.

1. Sell for what you can get on the open market.

2. Exercise prior to the close and take $10.10 sell price.

3. Wait and hope that another offer comes in higher.

If your strike is $10, I think it is worth the .10 or 1/16 or so bid to wait and risk 100% loss to have a chance at more.

Those with a $10 strike price or better were ripped off and should complain to the SEC and CBOE to change regulations regarding cash buy-outs.

Qiang,

I agree, but I am glad the longs got a nice return now and can put their money to work on something that could be productive.

I sold so my loss was a final one.

Good luck on all your trades.

One final note, I was looking forward to seeing Halpin resign this November when the stock did not return the promised value. This would have made me happy.
