Doug,

We are really in the lottery this time!. Hopefully if there is good news, it won't be know until after tomorrow.

All things equal, I'd say you are right about a small pull-back given the large amount of IO there was at the 20 strike.

I really made out last month. The shares got called just as IRAQ thing diffused. The only thing I can think is the calls got assigned on the expectation of TMAR participating in the sure-to-be market rally. Of course that rally happened at the expense of oil-related stocks (lower oil prices).

I also sold Mar 20's on TMAR. First time I've ever written covered calls. Do you typically not find out if the shares were called until the following Monday? I'd be upset if I lost the shares although I did get more mid-week at 18 3/4.
