I know this sounds simplistic, but its all in the stock. If the stock moves in your favor, open interest willincrease and you will find buyers for your position, if it moves against you, will will get zero. Regards, Steve

Why is this option so important to you that you are willing not only to place what can be a significant amount of your portfolio into one option, but also place yourself into an illiquid position at the same time? There are many, many more opportunities with options out there. IMO itis never a good idea to restrict yourself in this way, particularily when there is no reason to do this. IMO "diversification" should be the watchword here. Bob Graham
