I don't have a clue --- nothing will surprise me here. All this market can do is gap up -- there never is any climbing during the day -- it's all gaps -- one day there ain't gonna be nuttin' left. I guess my puts get cut in half tomorrow -- even though I paid a lot more with the QQQ's at 37 a couple of days ago This will certainly do wonders for the call OI at those higher strikes -- already pretty darn heavy if you ask me. We'll see if this can match the jobs orgasm.

there's a sh*tload of OI (relatively speaking) in both the April and May 50 call options for YHOO -- I guess someone is in the loot big time tomorrow. Heck it is even true of July as well ... Dell is similarly lopsided, but not so much for April ... Option buyers always get screwed?? (I know, I know -- just put buyers <g>) stay tuned tomorrow and we'll find out

XYZ is up 20 points after-hours to a new high of 60 after reporting pro-forma earnings of 2 cents per share excluding all charges and expenses but including a one-time non-cash increase in goodwill. The strong earnings report beat analcyst expectorations by a penny. The conpany also announced a 3-for-1 stock split and the bored approved a stock repurchase program, citing the current market undervaluation. CEO T. Boner Fukuall was granted options for an additional 30,000,000 common shares as an incentive award. Mr. Fukuall had recently exercised last year's options at $0.01 and sold 20,000,000 shares at $38. The annual incentive program is based on how much the stock price increases during the year. UnSoundview Financial upped its price target for XYZ to 80. Merry Leech upgraded XYZ from scam to goose and added it to this week's fucus list. XYZ has layed off 24,500 employees nationwide so far this year, but is hiring aggressively in India, Tanzania and Ethiopia due to shortage of U.S. workers with the necessary skills. capitalstool.com
