<..With good news....$50 to $60 within three months...> Aside from buyout offers, what kind of good news do you envision? Faster growth? And how long will their cash (~$9) last, even combined with expected revenues, if they are expected to lose $11+ for the next two years. More questionable convertible prefereds?

...good post...it all depends on your style and time horizon...remember, only 26 funds own this...of BFPT, ICIX, MCLD, TCGI, average of 55 funds own each...you can bet those funds are looking at/ buying WCII..this is what instit accum looks like....but my low to mid 30's sh to interm tgt is almost upon us...TA and money flow looks terrific..

Patrick, I've been contemplating writing some calls myself and would be very interested in your opinion on covered calls.. what strike and month look attractive to you. Steve, I know you dabble in cc's so please add your comments. I haven't written any calls in months because of all the buyout talk, but I've changed my take on a buyout...I don't think Rouhana wants to leave any money on the table and if he thinks the stock's going to be 80 - 100 in 18 months, why sell now at 50. Thanks
