Sam,

the reason for the high premium is the expected release of Xyotax Stellar 3 data early next year. That will be a truly binary event. Especially on the upside. The downside seems better protected as the current valuation appears to be "supported" by Pixantrone and to certain degree also by Trisenox.

I didn't do it in my head, Sam, believe me <g>. Schwab Trader CT has a useful function that provides the implied volatilities.

For those without Schwab accounts there are a couple of others sources for calculation of implied volatility. One is here:

cboe.com

Another is Peter.
