Yes, I'm in the same preverbial(sp?) tub as TG when it comes to taking a bath on CYMI calls. Trying to get rid of my latest batch of May 22.5's now and cut my losses. There is something to be said for the fact that more people make money Selling options than Buying options. I have contributed to that phenomenon greatly. Thinking about trying the other side of the coin and selling some options for the short term. I think we've seen some pretty amazing manipulations on the stock price these past six months to make sure CYMI lands quite squarely on a heavy options # on expiration day.

Not likely in my opinion. FWIW. Wish I'd have dumped these babies for six bucks a piece last week when I could have. Coulda, shoulda, woulda....
