Should have had the guts of buying the DEC 30 or 35 call options on the open. I waited until the market started its rally which had cost me dearly on percentage terms. On the open the DEC 30s were below 1 and the 35s were $.50. Nevertheless, I paid $.50 more for the option than was originally quoted me (3/4) and still made 7/16 on the trade. On a percentage term it was a respectable gain but it was nowhere near the percentage gain from the rally we had in the stock last week. This stock is going to be volatile for a while. Fundamentally, this is among the best stocks in the semiconductor area.
