poet..."jdsu seeing 190 or so" perhaps, but you may find that the march puts will tend to have a rapid rate of decay, even with the common moving down. e.g.... 2/2 common at 206 sell xxz-om (mar165)for 12.125 2/15 common at 196 sell xxz-om (mar165)for 6.5 common down 10....prem down 5.625 nothing but time... take advantage of psychological market moments as today to capture the inflated implied volatility, providing nothing fundamentally has changed with the underlying company. today's selloff may not be oil price fear, as much as it is winding up of open friday options a few days early, based on these fears.... don't worry about oil, there exists no shortage, purely a restriction on supply, don't look at the oil service sector as a bargain, nobody exploring if it's just the wellheads closed down. big oil is greedy, can't afford to shoot economic recovery in the foot...this too will pass....as long as there exists worry, the market has the probability of going up!
