Re: "I'm starting to wonder why I have so much money invested in expensive January calls. It might make more sense to put some of it in out of the money May options."

Comment: It's called being conservative, isn't it? (Never thought I'd make that distinction when referring to calls, but it does seem appropriate with this AMD racing car!)

Scumbria,

Option is never meant to be for long term. It is all about timing.

Scumbria,

> I'm starting to wonder why I have so much money invested in expensive January calls. It might make more sense to put some of it in out of the money May options.

Once I had 50 AMD Jan'01 $30 call options (in Sep'99 I believe). Bought them for $5.75 when AMD options used to go for peanuts. Sold them for $9.00 to invest in the near term out of money call options and as of now, if I had kept them I would have been ahead by at least $220K!
