Abbas - I'm not sure swearing at this dog will help. Swearing just makes a puppy put its tail between its legs and slink lower.

Technically, a stock that is retreating when the overall market is showing a lot of strength is not a good sign. Particularly, in the face of positive news....

and now for a distraction
of German extraction:

Was glaubst du wenn Hillary
waer' wirklich gut erzogen,
sie ginge dann auf ihre knie
und braecht' ihm hohe wogen...

Dann koennte er sich konzentrieren
auf Staats - onstattt auf bettaffairen!

old German proverb - with relevance today.

Your enthusiasm is inspirational, but it tugs at my heart strings because I have felt similarly about stocks, looked for similar logic and had the wind blow p*ss back in my face. You do not know when calls were purchased, nor for what price. Until just about a week ago a lot of folks were hot for this lovely, now dangerous lady.

Hope says, 'I paid X, its now only Y, if I hold out a little longer I'll get back my X and maybe more.'

Streetsmart says, 'What the F*&^ is really going on here? I will cut my losses and find another date if I'm the one who might be getting f*&^ed.'

Please excuse Streetsmarts rude bluntness, but experience trains hard.
Don't read too much or too little into your research on puts/calls.
Forgive me, I forget the famous 18th century statisticians name who said, regarding anothers misuse of the science

'I am afraid that my friend uses statistics
like a drunkard uses a lamp post
for support
rather then for illumination.'

I wish you the best. I pulled out and rode sesi, chtt and mdco for nice quick gains with the bread.
