Don just a word of caution here....I have seen MSFT calls or puts be stripped of value after earnings announcement. So if you buy before earnings and it goes down you may not make any money.... Capiche? (hmmm I wonder if that is spelled right?)

Hi Donald, >>why couldnt Painter wait 2 days for her annnouncement. << Even waiting 1 more day by me with all my CPQ calls. And why did WS have to close for MLK day? We would have had a nice rally yesterday - good exit/entry points. I'm also looking at MSFT puts - again. Hey David - congrats on your WAMU calls - great job! kw.

Donald, MSFT runup to 137. is it time to pull the trigger or are you waiting for more before initiating puts or has something changed your mind about putting MSFT? I have been watching CLASS 1 buys and sells with great interest as are others apparently. Your input to what your current mindset is would be greatly appreciated. Doing my own DD now and am following oil services as I have calls from last Friday that are running up nicely. Am long in FGII Augest 30's and EVI Augest 50's. What is your opinion of long term options. It seems to me that you are probably playing next month out options rather than longer term for a greater % return. Is this correct? What is the greatest number of contracts that you would consider in an illiquid option situation? Thanks for your input and looking forward to seeing more of you on Strictly Drilling Thread.TIA EOM Richard
