I won't take issue with your DYN call, except to say that the timing may not be as propitious as you think. My buddies who play this market are net sellers at the moment. :) you know, that is music to my ears, as i use options quite a bit, so what you are telling me now is that: 1. in the face of pending crisis, and 2. the long run the stock has had, 3. coming into resistance this stock becomes a good candidate for selling some calls. given the pressures on the demand for electricity in california, DYN would also have "some floor" so i would even be willing to play both sides using puts as well. "short straddle" with a wide range, and say 6 to 12 months out. i will still study the chart as i would like to become "in tune" with its rhythm, "how it moves". then i will receive some premium and see how we fare. So, from the craziness of the election, straight to the zaniness of the energy markets. America just can't catch a break these days. volatility will help, so... all what you are telling me fits well. You sound like a lawyer hey ! i did not call you any names, i do not even know you (gg) --no no lawyer here. The fact is, there are inherent risks in the production of nuclear power, but they are certainly substantially and firmly under control, except in the mind of the American, Canadian, British and German publics. The French laugh at us for being so naive and hysterical about such matters. And they are right to do so. well, what can i tell you...? risk is risk and so i would go with the one that has the least. if the nuclear industry can prove that it is safe to the point that it is warranted, then fine. as for the market: i pay attention to who buys and who sells, that is all. media or not. and as for the French... well... as i said, what can i tell you...
