NT is a hard stock to figure out on short term basis--or at least it used be due to the BCE stake. That problem is now solved. That is why I liked December or Jan calls--there was more predictability longer term on this stock. However, now being released by BCE, maybe short term calls will work out, especially given the keynote address by Roth on Wednesday, analyst meeting Monday evening (at the same event), and possibly of a big announcement at the show as well. I don't usually buy long term JDSU calls since they are so expensive. I prefer short term or just stock. You just have to ride the momentum on this one. SDLI is one of the reasons i got really bullish on JDSU call options. Still waiting on some word on the merger finalizing. Once the merger receives DOJ clearance, I plan to buy more calls even if the stock goes up $10 to $15 from the previous close---that is how confident I am that it will run up like SDLI has. For now, I am just riding the momentum and hoping it keeps going to about 140--150 range. good luck BTW--If you buy your NT calls in Canada, make sure you put a limit price.<g>
