I have never tried Pnf and options -- heck, I've never bought/sold an option in my life (company stuff not included). I am doing Pnf on the common and figured the idea is the same -- if the underlying is aching to go up, the calls should too. Of course, the timing etc seems to be different -- I would have bought NTAP when it went near 87 and when QPnf rang up 93 as the target, would have sold it at 93 or so. But I'm not day trading now so when it rang up 93, I went to lunch! But the option prices did not budge at all while all this was happening. I need to look at this more before I do anything. Do y'all put in limit orders or market orders or does it just vary? These things seem very thinly traded, no trades went across at all in the whole time I was watching NTAP Sep 60 calls. Now I'm also wondering why I am looking at deep in the money calls anyway -- I could just play the common at these prices! I think I'm going to go study GBLX May 40 Puts to figure out what you guys saw so next time I can see it too! :-) -Atin
