Paul, no you can not trade options AH and I don't think it'll happen anytime soon. Before we see AH trading, there got to be major overhaul on the current monopoly system, starting with narrowing the ridiculous spreads and only displaying the bid/ask set by MMs. No wonder 80% of option buyers lose money. Regards, Tom

Paul, OVTI: trading opportunity this week. Stock dropped 36% Friday on no news. After the close the company tried some damage control with a quarter pre-announcement 2 days before the actual release date. They will meet estimates of 9 cents. Stock rebounded AH. OVTI lost about 50% last week. Revs were up very little sequentially, earnings were down from previous quarter, ie., deteriorating margins. I think stock may rebound a little more Monday morning. I may ride it up with tight stop, and then short it down to single digits. Regards, Tom
