Poet, here is a pure gambling, Las-Vegas speculative play that I might risk a little fun $ on. I've never actually done this kind of play, but here it is: Implied volatility on MSFT is now about 48, and Windows is shipping finally. MSFT is a little under 106 premarket this a.m. Feb 105s are 3 1/4 (MSQBA) and Feb 110s are 1 1/4 (MSQBB). T2, who does this kind of play extraordinarily well on MSFT, alerted the thread that he's gambling a small amount on Feb 110s for a mo-mo run in MSFT because of the above. It is intriguing. What do you or anybody else think? Jill
