Dave,

One problem with being an options jock is that you can't celebrate too much on the blowout news. You need to see what happens at the open post-earnings.

Look at the chart for last quarter. AMD did not take off until after expiration.

Dave,

I am only long the stock. I have been very tempted to buy calls the last several months, but I got really burned by them a couple of years ago. I'm kind of an all-or-nothing guy. Rather than risk losing everything (what if AMD came in with 50 cents today?), I am happy to just play the stock long.

Regards,
Pravin.
