Not yet. I have a self imposed trading rule that unless I expect huge swings, I wait 3 days before closing a position. That way I have more information and cooler emotions to help me make the decision. In all likelihood, I will either sell covered calls or close the position on Monday. I didn't like what I heard in the conference call last night and I should have sold at the open, but I see the down side limited and I can always sell covered calls to recover small losses. ST
