"ATPG may be one of the best premium givers out there."

The volatility should start dropping on ATPG options giving sellers additional help with declining prices.

Bob, at first glance the stats for KWK are a bit scary.
It does trade in a slight downward trending (but predictable and therefore tradeable) channel.

finance.yahoo.com

Market cap: $2.15B
Total debt: $2.6B
Total cash: $3.3M (only?!)
Free cash flow: -$146M

Looks like these guys will need to do an equity financing soon.

Also interesting and probably why it is range-bound:
45% held by insiders
50% held by institutions

I know nothing about Quicksilver but these numbers alone make me not want to trade them. Their debt exceeds their market cap by half a billion dollars!
They do show a positive EPS of 75 cents but is that huge debt serviceable if interest rates climb up from zero?
You obviously know KWK much better than I Bob.

Cheers,
S&P
