>> I liked your April 35 recommendations.

First of all, it wasn't a recommendation. After the mistakes I've made in the last 2 years, I wouldn't dream of making a suggestion much less a recommendation. I was just talking out loud in hopes of getting some ideas from other dummies. But I will make an observation:

>> Checked it out. Selling for $2 to $2.10. That looks to be too little...

Sebl was trading around 32 when you got your quote, so 2.00 represented a potential 6.3% return for a strike price that was 9.4% out of the money over a 7 week period. Is that really "too low"? Maybe we need to re-examine our expectations.
