Neil: My "reasoning" for thinking that the price was low was based
on a lot of experience in trading options.......nothing else. I know
very little about how to calculate values of options, i.e., calculating
the Delta, analyzing the risk reward ratios, etc., etc. You may be
absolutely correct; I cannot give you a technical reason for my opinion. Would I pay that price? No, but not because of the price itself. I do not buy calls on any stock when the stock is on an up-
ward bias. Most of my BORL calls were bought when the stock
was in the $8. range. I might buy a put or two on BORL today if
we continue the upward trend. I look for a small pullback sometime
soon. Thanks for your interest and reply.
Cheers and luck to all,
Jack Gibson

<<John and Jack, What makes you both think the price was high? What would you pay for the Jan 98 $10 puts on BORL?>>

1 15/16 for the Jan 98 call seemed low. At 11 1/2, the time value premium of the option was only 7/16 - with two months left, and what appeared to be the start of a strong technical breakout above 11, the price seemed cheap.

I would not pay anything for Jan 98 $10 puts on BORL.
