This is like that Gilligan's Island episode where... the castaways made a raft, and actually set out to sea. Let's hope we don't return to the island like they did. I have this little HooDoo belief that when a stock breaks throught it's upper strike price ($22 1/2 in this case) it usually runs about 12 1/2% over that for a spike. I think it has to do with options selling at a discount trading to the common on an arbitrage basis. And the momentum players jump in, and... just plain HooDoo. Let's see- 22 1/2 * 1.125 = 25.3 Hmmm. Hmmm. Fear or greed? Taxes? Aarg. Still, I enjoyed your comment about treading water off Gilligan's Island. Web
