I starting to get the impression that IDT is like the guy in the 100 metere dash that seems to always get off a good start but seems to go before the shot actually gets off.

5,17,37,5,101,...: Rats and other options

Sometimes smelly rodents can be sniffed out in the options market. If I new for a fact that a company was going to report utterly abysmal earnings I'd be buying all the near term in the money puts I could get my hands on. The open interest in May 15's is 5.6 to 1 in favor of calls. More calls traded today than puts. If I saw 1000 put contracts cross (or something like that) I'd sell my stock tomorrow. I haven't, so I'm going to stick around for the earnings report (at the very least).

ooh jackson...
it was admittedly quite a stretch
&
i should note i simply hate to let a
a chance to go after frosty slip through my fingers...

no rats here, you are quite right...(unless you count lehman)
just a benign press release pre-earnings. not all that subversive, either.

sorry if i implied anything more sinister; it was not my intention.
