Bill: A "bear spread" on a "dead cat bounce". How creative can you get? Seriously. Thanks for the scenario, I'll mull it over with Ringo. A bit more aggressive than my usual -buy the underlying and sell options from there- strategy. But the downside seems very limited at ($1). This could be interesting. Humblest regards, Mathon

<<What you might want to try is a "bear spread." When the stock gets to say 17, you sell, say Jan 17.5's for $1.50. Simultaneously buy the Jan 20's for 5/8 or so and limit your loss. See how easy it is!>> Bill, nice call. What else do you have cooking these days??? btw: Just bought a little NSCP. Hoping Justice Dept. action bodes well for the stock which, if it bounces, could see a test in the low thirties. If it breaks through there? Goodness, extra kimchi for everyone!!!
