Verrrry very interesting, Mark. Thank you for a cordial and on topic post. Not to mention the heads up on MSGI. :)

LOL. The bulbs in your chandelier are bright this a.m. Not Mom genes, restaurant genes, see my post this a.m. on Volty's porch: Message 12816995 I guess we've arrived as a true grown up thread if we can have a thread fight of that intensity. What a wonderful lesson, Mark. It's true we haven't had that kind of talk on the thread and we should--ed had sometimes pointed out that you can tell the street's longterm view of a stock by looking at how/if the premiums on leaps change (as I recall--do I have that right ed?). Anyway I recall him saying that on DELL a long time ago. The question is, who is this better--an inside guy, an institution, what? Do you have any more thots about it--and why you decided to follow his bet?

Mark, I just mentioned a stock to Poet, ICIX, and I noticed the same characteristic later last year (in terms of nice even blocks of 300 contracts trading). The buyer ended up with several 1000 contracts, and I placed my bets where the buyer had his/her largest concentration. I bought 4 times as many contracts as I wanted to eventually have in shares. Within six weeks, I exercised, covered my full investment, and ended up with a sizable long term position. This could be the same kind of thing. LoF
