Barry, There is no great mystery here. All deals carry some risk even ones like this one which I understand carries a $29 guarantee regardless of what the QNTM stock does. There are big money guys on Wall Street who make a good living doing nothing but " arbing" deals like this one. They make complicated trades involving shorting and going long at the same time to remove the risk and lock in that 11% gain. For the little guy like you and me ( I only have a 1000 shares at an average cost of $18), it is usually best to take our profit, say thank you ATLPA, and drive on. It is what I intend to do. Bob
