Hi bear, The open interest in Cohu (now that august has expired is next to nil). I think the market maker had to cough up some stock with all of the $15.00 and $17.50 calls that were sold. There are only 30 calls and or puts in September and October is similar. There are a lot of November calls 127 of the $17.50's and 409 of the $20.00's. Looks like it is a play on the earnings reort due out in later October only about 123 puts sold from 12.50 thru 20.00 (69 at 17.50). MM will keep price depressed/sideways to reclaim some inventory. Sure would like to see Cohu top 50 cents next quarter (nongaap). Seasonality normally will slow the Q4 and Q1 - could be that it won't as Amat and Lrcx have really been making a lot of frontend equipment / orders - back end lags by a quarter at least. Lots of articles talking about over all year 7's having sideways to down from now till beginning of November. Could be we just get bored here for a month or two. Save up some dividends and buy the dip. I'd rather see it go parabolic. LOL Bob
