<< <<Only a dodo would be holding on for short term. COMS is obviously a long term play>> So why we need to post on SI board ? Just like you said, if you are a long term holder, sell yr. 2000 call option to lock your position, then come back after 2 years. << Sorry William, I should clarify...traders are welcome and have a right to be trading...it's possible to make $$. What I meant to say, is, I can't believe somebody would sell at this point and "give up on COMS", or "throw in the towel". If one throws in the towel, then he was never in COMS for the right reason -- either long term potential, or short term trading. I myself have traded it some...not that well. But mainly, I watch it so I can understand it. I think COMS is a hard stock to understand, and this will make me more knowledgeable in the future. Plus, I did buy it higher between 32-35, not to mention some up in the high 40's last year...so this stock is testing my patience, but not to the point where I would sell. I would only do that if COMS fundamentals went sour...and I believe they've improved quiet a lot.
