My guess is that the release date is 4/23 (a Thursday). I believe that all other releases have been on Thursdays for VNTV (at least to the best of my recollection). Yes, the options expire before the announcement. But, they were so cheap early this AM, I bought a bunch around 15/16 - already up about 50%. You could argue it either way, but the premium for May expiration was pretty good - at 15/16 or so, they were cheap, and if the stock didn't move much, I could get out at even. My guess is that there will be a bunch of movement aduring the preceding week - there often is with VNTV, so i'll get out at 5 or something like that.
