Jerome,

If I could bring myself to buy it, I'd be writing ISRG on a monthly basis. Tremendous volatility with a payoff to match. I just don't have the research done to be a comfortable holder of the stock.

For March covered calls or short naked puts, either one, I like COP 65, APC 40, AMGN 65, PTEN 22 1/2, CHK 30, and HD 40. Also would consider ISRG if it drops another 4 or 5 points.

With estimated earnings of 4.44 for 2007 and almost 5.00 for 2008, I think Amgen is getting pretty cheap for a stock of that quality.
