A dissenting opinion on "selling a put option is best done with a fairly distant expiration date in order to take advantage of the premium attached to the option." If you look at the price of a certain put option out ... say ... 6 months. And then you look at the price of a put option for that same strike price, but only 1 month out. And then compare the amount of money you would receive if you successfully do ("do" meaning : have the option expire worthless) the one month one a total of 6 times. You will find that you would much rather do the 1 month put option. (I am aware that things are not so simple. The main "all things NOT being equal" is -- the underlying stock skyrockets during month number 1, and you do not get the chance to do the same strike price naked put ... the last 5 times). But, in general, I have found that I ALWAYS want to do the 1 month naked puts, not the longer dated ones. Jon.

Art - 1X in US - Q3? 1X in Japan - Q2? 1X in Korea - after July for better sales when restrictions on SK end? 1X in Canada - ??? 1X anywhere else????? My guess is that the market is ignoring the numbers that Q is achieving and looking at potential now and that potential now is proving very difficult to achieve. Are we seeing one or more hedge funds coming in after the stock faltered at $66 and reckoing they will really get it down this time after having failed to get it below $50 last time down a week or ten days ago? It is downright debilitating to see the Q collapse as the Naz stages a mini rally ( if you can call it that). I wonder if some of the Qs big enemies haven't decided to try to undermine the Q by encouraging its stock price down. They have very big resources and plenty of friends in the investment community to help them with this and it could be very profitable for them. Well it has presumably been very profitable for whoever is doing this even over the last 48 hours. Dr J sounds very confident and so do all the others who have been speaking at presentations recently. But when will we see some growth in Japan? DoCoMo doesn't seem to have any very threatening competition according to the post of the numbers on the other thread. Korea is stalled so where are we going to get the growth until 1X kicks in? This reminds me very much of SNDK a couple of years ago when we kept on seeing announcements of design-ins and new licensees but the stock languished. Very similar feel to this. Best regards, L
