I sold the same July 130s on Q, for 21. Had put in a limit order as you know. Just checked and I got it. When I walked into the place where I consult I was accosted by the tech support guy, Jill, Jill, look at JDSU. He wanted to buy some and he's impulsive so I suggested he buy a DIM call, I think it was a 130 strike (it was about 125). I hope it was a good idea. Even though I think JDSU will have a way to go in its presplit momo run, I didn't want to see him speculate on an OTM call. He actually suggested selling a 280 put, which I convinced him was probably nuts. He said in his best mafioso imitation, "I make $ on this, I'm gonna take care uh you." What did that mean I inquired. "Ya wanne Palm 5X or a 7? I'll buy ya one." I decided on the 5x because it doesn't have email. We'll see. If I don't get a Palm I should take my name off the header of this thread, because who am I to go spending others' $ like that! Meanwhile, I might play some DIM calls myself! :-)
