Greetings,

Simple answer IMHO is every day counts for time premium to errode. In cases like QCOM (one of many favorites around here) the queston is do you want that position exposed over a time period like you asked about. I'm trying hard to unwind an April 50 call sold for $1.80 before the week is up. Obviously sold to early <g>.

Well every day that goes by is a chance for something to happen which could greatly effect the companies stock price. The stock price might only move on a trading day but news effecting the company could happen on a weekend or holiday.

Also options consider the time value of money and non-trading days aren't free for that purpose.

Tim
