David, I agree with your point that options past July will include the PALM dividend. I talked to CBOE last week and they confirmed that an option would now = an option on the sum of 100 COMS + 150 PALM (or whatever the exact distribution s). Funny thing about your rolling your calls out. I actually did the opposite on some of mine. I had some AUG 45's that had built up so much profit that I sold them and bought some JUL 60's, just to cover any runup in the next 2 weeks. I will then buy some AUG calls again. I was so burned last go around on the COMS runup prior to the IPO that I am a little bit more conservative this time. I do still have some OCT 55's and JAN 60's, that I look forward to holding until expiration then exercising. Please keep us posted what you do. I could definitely use some help this time around! Thanks, Mike
