Rob, You are correct once again. I just looked at IDX now at $10.00. I wish I had used your technique...others are just jealous including me. Yong

Rob, I'm going to need your advice over the next month as I have Jan 12.5 calls. This is my first trek into the options market. I may have paid a little too much(3/8 bought last week). I feel that first couple of weeks in Jan. may be good. Thanks Marvin

Rob, No, but I admire your guts. I really thought that IDX would hold around the $12 area this month, especially after the H & Q new BUY coverage. This monthly trip back to 10 really galls me. Maybe I'll write some Jan 10s next week. The Jan options expire on the 16th and the earnings aren't due to be released until the following week. JL

Rob, - OFF TOPIC - I see in your profile: "Buying speculative stocks that have future earnings potential..." I don't normally like to tout my stocks, but you may like SYSF. It is trading today around it's new year low @ 4-11/16 - year high is 18. It's been grossly oversold in the last couple of weeks. SYSF is in the call avoidance software market. The potential is huge and they recently added OEM agreements with DELL and Acer (there has been speculation that CPQ could be next). The problem has been that the OEM agreements have taken much longer than expected and analysts have had to eat their words. There has obviously been a lot of tax loss selling. -If you like speculating with options, look at the May 5 calls. They're around 1 buck. -This time of year is great for these types of (potential) opportunities! :) JL
