Hi Drenko: Hope all OK. Been awhile. I like JDSU, CIEN, EXTR, BEAS, BRCD and a bit of SDLI to play that 3.8 spread. Listed below are my holdings from a post last week. Not sure u saw it. I'd look at calls that are 4-6 months out, in the money with a strike at about 80% of underlying stock price. Good luck my Friend.

JDSU - Bought more March calls. Stopped out of last Dec position. 2. EXTR - Bought more March calls. Stopped out of portion of March calls. Bought back in at lower level and added more. 3. CIEN - Bought more Jan calls. 4. QCOM - Leaps. 5. BRCD - Re-entered. Bought Jan and April calls. 6. BEAS - Bought more March calls. RR Radar screen: 7. ITWO 8. RMBS 9. SDLI Lots of buying opportunities this week. Even though I was stopped out of some of my calls, I preserved capital. Remember that is rule number 1. Then I bought back in at lower levels and added more. Believe this past week gave us a great chance to enter some positions that will have great returns going forward. Have a great weekend my Friends. Take care and good luck. RR
