"Don't forget the old days when AMAT could rattle off 5+ points like Chicklets spilling into a waiting hand. Of course that was during a time when that might represent a 5% move not 10% ;-) If a writer gets caught flat footed he might click in at the end of a week and find his 3 premium received is now worth a good poke more than $3 to the holder. Indeed one day we will all collectively gasp when a big player's CC points to a recovery in earnest." AMAT is volatile enough to go up 5 points at any time. However a sustained uptrend is not likely while the Global Billings Report is showing semiconductor sales falling at 7% per month.
