Means Algo is hedged. <g> Or someone thinks its going up quick. Or someone thinks its better to pay 50 cents than risk losing $2 if things go downhill.

I've still got that chunk of March 30's and 27.5 Calls that I've been shorting and flipping against for the last few months. Need to decide what to do here soon today.

Too bad NVLS hasn't kept pace with LRCX. If it had I could have taken the rest of the year off. Instead I'm just fumbling around.

Sept 35's for $1.05 look like a good buy to hedge against if I close out the current ones.

How about some SLAB up $9? Or CKFR up $7?

Earnings action like that at this point in the markIt kinda scares me. Makes things look frothy.

If "they" want to start a NVLS and sector run, they certainly have the report to do it with. Just start it up $5 during the conference call and let the CKFR and SLAB momo crowd jump over to drive it to up $7 or 8 for the day <lol>
