Nor would I. I own some Nov 12.5's. I think that I will hold on to them. At 1/16, there is no point in selling. And there is still a possibilty that they will expire in the money. How?

1) JBuilder C/S announcement
2) dBase GA announcement
3) Another major licensing deal similar to Oracle
4) Acquisition announcement. Remember that they have $25m-$50M that they raised for acquisitions.
5) Short covering.
7) A buy recomendation from a well known analyst.
6) Strong rebound of the market following last weeks tank (in which BORL proved to be suprisingly resilient).

Any of theses could contribute to BORL moving up a few points. A lot depends on the mood of an increasingly fickle market. I am sure that Leo or one of our other bears could give as many reasons not to expect it any time soon. Note that I only paid 3/16 for the Nov 12.5's. But regardless, there is little incentive to sell at 1/16.

You may be right but, you see, I just have no confidence in option. The stock could very well close at 10 to 10 1/4 on option expiration day, this month, and the options would be almost worthless. I hope not, though, for many's sake on this thread. Ghassan.
