Sibe, >> Options << Well, in general, options trade as the stock does and the higher the volatility in the stock the higher the premiums will be on the options. (THAT IS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR) If ALYD continues to trade in the pattern it has been then I expect to see good premiums on the options and they should be very volatile as well. One of the best strategies will be, especially for those who bought in at the higher end, to take advantage of the premiums and write covered calls. The volatility around expiration periods should be higher, but that just bodes well for the traders and those who like to write covered calls. Now keep in mind that the volatility will also be effected by the # of shorts and their positions during expiration periods. We have already seen that the shorts are not afraid of coming into the game, and that also helps increase volatility. It will be fun for all that take part, but the short term traders are the ones who will make out the best.

Attention ALYD share holders. THE FOLLOWING MAY BE OF INTEREST. Humbly report, that in Dec. of 1996 ALYD and Chase Technology set up an European year 2000 joint-venture. ---------------------------------------------------- However approx. 5 months later Chase Technology, surprisingly, sold its stake in the joint venture back to ALYD. > ukbusinessnet.com Twickenham-based Chase Technology Group has sold its 50 percent share of Alydaar Software Europe, its Year 2000 joint venture company to its partner Alydaar Software Corporation Inc [ASC]. Chase has received tradable stock in ASC which is in the process of moving from the "Bulletin Board" to a full NASDAQ listing. -------------------------------------------------------------- If you noticed in the above press release it clearly states that Chase was given TRADABLE shares in Alydaar. I believe that this was done through a Reg. S or other such offering and that these are the shares that were being sold a few weeks back. If you remember certain people on this thread were saying that Reg. S. shares were hitting the market. Well, they were probably some of Chase's shares. This is what Chase said about its holdings in ALYD : "We're not an investment company, we won't hold on to the stock indefinitely," said Chase MD Chris McAuley. "We'll realize the cash value to fund further growth as we need it and to make further acquisitions." This doesn't sound like an investor with a tight grip on their shares. Chances are once the stock starts to head back up, Chase will start to dump shares again.
