SNDK is very interesting. They're volatile as hell, and always seem to command top premium percentages. If it looks like they'll close above my October CC strike price of 55, I may roll them into November 55s. And after the stock settles, I might just write some puts.

I dont think it was optimism, but volatility that is driving those prices....the puts had a huge premium as well.


Good observation .. lots of 'straddle' buyers/sellers
ahead of earnings; especially on the high beta stocks
tends to 'puff' the premiums ..
