I invited Steve over here because I think Steve would be great for some option opportunity here. I have some option question first of all. Is there a formula for calculaing an option premium? If not, how about his for a rule of thumb: 4 weeks to go before option expires - expect 10% premium 3 weeks to go before option expires - expect 7.5% premium 2 weeks to go before option expires - expect 5% premium 1 weeek to go before option expires - expect 2.5% premium. If the stock is volatile, add 2.5% max accordingly. If stock is a sleeper, substract 1.5% accordingly. Does premium calculation differ if the stock prices are between 5-10 10-20 20-30 30-50 50-75 75-100 100-150? I have followed stock trading in between 10-30 and arrive at the above rule-of-thumb. bw - your thought on the thread is right on. We have known each other for at least a year now and basically know where each other stand. With our low key presence I think we can put better energy into making money than defending one's position. Asia continues to be weak tonight. I think I'm going defensive tomorrow and preserve cash as my priority. When is Dell going to annoucne, Teddy?
