Food for thought on your INTC Call play. Have you considered that although INTC may very well report a decent quarter that their forward statement may center on reduced ASP's, tighter margins and diminished market share? If this happens you might be better off spending the same 1/4 on Jan 60 Puts! Good luck P.S. Now that I think about it why not straddle INTC and spend 1/2 the money on each side of the position. Big move = Profit (just a little less w/o the straddle but a lot more than being dead wrong on the bet)
