E~Predicting what stocks for cc's might be expected to show more stability than others has become very uncertain at best. The unbelievable volume in the INMX Feb 5 calls should be sending some message. I can't believe the mm's would let that kind of money fall through their hands, so I'd be tempted to buy puts with that stock's history instead of calls. Remember how those high prems are usually there for a good reason - risk. PWAV has never made a profit, and not expected to for all of 98, though the VFQAC Jan 15 looks very tempting to me. I just wouldn't want to own the stock for long. I don't see how your VVUS with its strong fundamentals at this level can miss. I couldn't get filled on CREAF Apr 15 puts yesterday at 1 3/4, so am unable to set up bullspread there yet. Only thing I did was buy TRVAJ calls for short-term play. Sort of drifting here, figuring preserving capital isn't worst strategy right now. Good Luck with your stuff. Let us know. Rick
