" we now going 'long' INTC stock ?" John, I trade the Intel shares because my trading model (TROUBLE) usually switches me from long to short and back several time a month. If I try to trade the options, the difference between the bid and ask severely penalizes me. I strongly feel the "price to play" in Intel options is prohibitive. Even at the money short term options in Intel typically have 1/2 point or more difference in the bid and ask. Also I find the options frequently illiquid at the time I am placing my trades. Best Trading, X P.S. TROUBLE gave a signal this morning to cover my short and go long, which I did. As is frequently the case, I don't trust this signal, but acted on it anyway.
