DK thanks for pointing out the info on SI..I never read the home page so I wonder if anyone will make this an issue for a reason to knock the stock down on prem... I can think of this in different ways...but this is just pondering and dont know validity demand - jack up price out of money- more room to jack up price based on various factors. (however, I still contend that the same philosophy of jacking up can be done no matter where the option is...but something need to look at..) and market movement - jack up price now you could have market movement and still not have high demand - theoritically- and they can still jack the price up just based on market movement The next time Kevin has a tight neutral zone , I can only pray that we have a buy/sell program so I can see the effect on the trading. If it is not a tight neutral zone, I think it is not as much of a problem...although this premium stripping is always a problem. Here is something someone is pounding into my head (the only way he can work with me to get it through this thick head of hair).... most quote systems are not real time..even though they say they are... they are somewhat delayed. I daresay even Bloomberg has some delay. So, the floor traders see whats coming...they move the prem on you before you even get the info on your quote system and by the time you react...your prem is jacked. (and when I say jacked I mean more than just a normal movement for the movement in the stock etc...uhhh....what's normal anyway...) this is what you are fighting... So I guess we can only hope for big movements because even if the prem is jacked when we get it we can still make money I have seen many times when we are flirting around within a range of Kevins points..and when it FINALLY hits the buy point..it takes off on you so fast.... this is the concept that Nemer and I were watching in that the longer it coils in this tight range..the harder it breaks out when it hits the buy point have to be quick to beat the boys
