Sept 25 calls for $3 is interesting...but the underlying stock itself(from a cash flow standpoint purchased on margin) is essentially an Infinity 0 call trading for $8 3/4. TG

CBOE shows Sept 17 1/2 calls for sale at $7. Why did you opt for the 25s? I'm not an options trader and I'm not familiar with all the deltas and so forth. As I understand it, you would pay twice as much off the top for the 17 1/2s, but your risk of losing all that money is much less than for the 25s, and your breakeven is 3 1/2 points better. Don't mean to criticize-- I'm sure you have good reasons for what you did and I'd like to hear them.
