JP, I don't see a whole lot of premium built into the Aug 100s. trading at around 7 means that the market only thinks LU will move another 5 points or so from this level. Either the option is priced incorrectly (doubtful) or the market thinks this thing is poised for a pullback (likely). As for the 6000 purchased at 6, I bet the will be sold very shortly as option players are generally very quick to take profits.

Don't get me wrong, I hope it continues to surge as I too am long. However, I think relaistically this is due for a pullback, at least to fill the gap at 95 or so. JMHO. Free up some cash and be ready to add when it does pullback.

Regards

Don't Forget Northern Telecom announces before the bell tomorrow!

If Nortel comes through with a blowout, it could throw more gasoline
on the Lucent fire!
