jdb....jdsu feb expirations... feb 200 puts at 5.5 not bad, i just sold feb 195 at my limit of 4....2% return in a week. the marches have added time value and are tweaked with all the three volatility components. i sold the very same ucq-ot mar200 on 2/8 with the stock at 207 and received a 21 prem...........stock down 5, prem down 3..........someone may be expecting a correction, but the put seller must conclude that someone, at this moment in time wants to buy insurance for that which the seller believes will not occur. jdsu oversold...."week of expiration strategy" for scalping is in effect in my opinion on jdsu. less risk then an dice roll otm msft feb call buy. we will know the ultimate risk in a few days...worst case own jdsu lower then current market
