I sold the September 30's for $1.90 a few days ago.

I wrote August 7.50 calls on Juniper on 7/10. Option premium was $.70. They were buywrites, bought at $6.95. Only way I get uncomfortable with those is if Juniper goes to 3. I've been waiting to see some Siebel September 10 or 12.50 calls but the premiums don't seem high enough yet. Whoops, also did an NTAP buywrite on 7/26. Bought at $9.36, then sold Sept 10s at 1.25. Again, since they are buywrites, the only way I get uncomfortable is a dramatic reduction in the value of the underlying.
