re: I wasn't fretting....

" Ugh. Now I am in a really annoyed mood I did not get those calls again when it headed down to about 22.50 the other morning. Just complaining to myself. -g "

I dunno, but it sounds like fretting to me.<gg> Just teasing.

Consider that when you buy near term calls, you pay the equivalent of loan shark interest in the form of premium DECAY! You are much better off buying calls further out. You have to put up more money up front, but you don't get killed on the decay.

Just a thought.

Regards,

Steve

I traded the June 25s earlier last week. Bought at 1.00 and sold for 1.25. Missed the opportunity later in the week to buy for .90 or .95 and sell for 1.60. And now they are .75. Tough to buy. They never look as tempting when the stock takes a hit. I'm leaning towards SMH calls instead. At least they only reflect overall market (semi) problems and not company specific bad news.
