well, my march 155 calls are down from $8 yesterday to $4 today... 50% loss in one day.. bummer.. still, if QCOM holds in the 120s and shows any signs of life in the next few weeks (esp. with some good news) I would imagine it could rocket back up nicely.. just hoping that unlike all my other calls.. this one actually turns out to be a winner.. stocks I had faith in and am down huge: AOL, EGRP, BBY, XPDR hope QCOM bucks the trend ; but so far it isn't.. off high of $128 now down to $121 and showing ZERO support along the way jim

Implied volatility way down on Q...see 75% average on calls. Might be better to wait till stock rises a bit and maybe vols come back to life. (To contrast, I believe implied volatility got up to 135% when the Q was flying...gives you a better premium). I can see that it doesn't matter if you're not called out, and hey, getting 250 a share ain't bad. My point is just that this may not be the best time for call selling. Say QCOM has some good news and pops up to 160 in a month...maybe you could get two or three times as much for the call then. Just a thought.
