Ken, I like buying in the money short term calls when the market is volatile and I am looking for a spike in an individual stock. A good example of this strategy right now is C. C's chart has a clear uptrend and upcoming Fed meeting should give the stock another boost. When the market lacks volatility, a good strategy is to sell out of the money short term calls and use the proceeds to buy long term calls. MTIC - I know I mentioned this relationship before and I'll bring it up again: quote.yahoo.com Pretty clear, no? Other notes on MTIC that you may be aware of. Earnings are coming up and MTIC has a history of missing widely or exceeding estimates by a large amount. Short term earnings forecasts for MTIC are not good and the company has a cash flow problem that will need to be addressed soon. You've done very well trading MTIC. I just took a peek under the hood.
