Chip those changes probably indicate the call hasn't traded for a few days. I haven't looked at the premiums to determine whether they are cheap, but as a general rule the near term options are more expensive than the distant options because of the higher IV. It's a short term leveraged crap shot as to whether they are a good buy or not. I think Sun is a good investment for the long term, but couldn't tell you where it'll be in 11 days. No one can, you just have to go with your your own assessment. But, hey, it may be a good gamble. Good luck. Carl
