RE: In most cases, I think the figure 97% is often used, options expire worthless, which means in more than 97% of the time, the option buyers lose money, as one can still lose money even when the options do not expire worthless. I think the figure I heard was 80%. I know must options expire worthless but 97% seems to high. Tim

Richard: Great post...Buying calls is an extremely aggressive investment strategy to be used with caution and only in instances where all funadamentals and technicals line up in unison and where all financial yardsticks relative to the industry suggest extreme undervaluation...AMD is one of a very few stocks that has met (and continues to meet, imho) call purchase prereqisites as aforementioned! P.S...AMD has been tailor made for letting your winners run Those October and January calls look really attractive given the past 2 record breaking quarters and the outstanding prospects that have been presented by management going forward!
