tom....sdli you may want to start tracking it, further pullback to the -260 range will cause july strikes under 200 to have very attractive put premiums, due to the recent run up... can present low risk opportunity

Hi Tom: Time and risk primarily. I prefer calls over the stock due to the better returns of course. I can assume the risk. ITM calls don't tend to get their teeth knocked out like an OTM, plus the extra time helps going 4-6 months out. Although if a position turns against me, I get out immediately. I guess that I sort of look at the ITM, and especially deep ITM calls, as stock substitution in a way. Am willing to buy the ITMs instead, get a greater return, assume the risk. RR
