I actually did expect COMS to be really strong....I just couldn't figure out the actual deal...the backdoor part. I should've traded calls tho...would be selling them today for a big profit. Hey, Rocketman came and warned us it would be Cree-like. It's okay...today's a great day except for QCOM, still consolidating in its trading range. Hmmm. May be another quarter or two. Did you see on the porch Voltaire sold some Q and bought 25,000 shares ELON (I think that was the #) and sold cc on the positoin for 11%? Something like that. What's interestng is that he talks about repositioning/rolling out cc much the way ed has taught about selling puts. In other words, as long as you are the writer of an option, you can always repair. In addition, with the volatility these days, he has never gotten called before expiry. So he waits it out. I'd like to learn more about that at some point. Back to spreadsheet.
