I wish the current move up had waited a couple of days. I just sent in my options and margin agreements to my broker. I am going to be very careful with margin. (The trades I plan to make won't cause me to get a margin call unless AMD drops about 50%). >>

Unfortunately there is nothing far enough out of the money to look like a great deal to me in the options. I'm trying to convince CBOE to add some higher strike prices. I encourage you all to email them about this as well. I can't be the only one here who'd be interested in Jan/Oct 150s.

Even if you miss out on this buying opportunity, it's nice to have the permissions for the next one. I got hit with the same type of deal when I filled out my margin/option forms.

July, October and January calls while AMD is under $80, should provide you with an above average ROI, I'd guess, given AMD's superb fundamentals and growing presence on the "big stage".
