typical salvage value of deepoutmoney calls is 10-30% but with the opportunity of 2x to 4x profit typical salvage value of inmoney calls is 40-70% but with the opp of 50% to 2.5x profit deepoutmoney calls offer the "ILLUSION" of controlling more shares this is true ONLY after the higher strike price is surpassed until then, the much lower delta means you control only a portion of those contracted underlying shares for what it is worth with DOM calls in last decade, I have lost on 75% of them with about 20% of them total losses Rickster, I fully subscribe to the prudence and power of inmoney calls I may go just a tad higher than you on strike prices though with EXTR in the last three weeks I got March100 calls while common shares started at 112, all the way down to 94 what started as inmoney, ended at outofmoney / jim

Hi Rick, It was my turn to be out of town. Doing the continuing ed thing. I meant no sarcasm or disrespect to you on the EXTR post. When I said "conspicuously", I was referring to missing your rallying posts of bravado telling us to hold tight and grab more calls at the new bargain. I am out of town myself a lot and have been struggling to keep up with the posts and did not catch where you were out of town also. When I didn't see you posting, I was just wondering if you were reevaluating. I know you do indeed put your money where your mouth is and meant no offense. BTW on the OTM calls, they wouldn't move as much as the ITM calls if they turned would they?? I am holding the Mar 100 and Mar 120 calls at the moment. Let me know if I am missing something here. My thanks as always, Joel
