Talk about BIG ones, my hat's off to one wild and crazy guy, I mean father-to-be. WoW! -S

>> Luckily my gsthq's expire a week before tekbaby's due date.... gsthq's closed at 3 1/4 bid, so your 180 contracts are worth $58,500. That'd buy a whole bunch of pampers (you'll need em; kitty litter doesn't work for babies). Have you considered forgetting what they were worth at their peak and preserving some capital? Or, if you are holding them as an all or nothing play based on the merger putting them back into the money, might it not make more sense to switch them for the tvgia options? uf
