I had the trigger for 20 Oct. 17.5 contracts ready to fire. But with little or no movement in the stock today, I opted against it. Think I'll wait and see what happens Monday. May not be my smartest move given the FCC will discuss xDSL Tuesday and there may be a pop up as a result. I'll take the gamble (yes, I like Vegas). I ran some numbers using Oct. 15 at the slightly higher premium and they look pretty good. Think I'll do some more number crunching this weekend. On the surface, paying around $0.50 to rachet down the strike price by 2.5 points is very attractive. Thanks for the great input : )! BTW, our company will begin testing an ADSL line for Pac Bell beginning next week. We are looking at implementing if the FCC grants approval. If our company (a Top 5 Engineering News Record Ranked International firm) is any indication of the market and other multi-national firms, expect ADSL to be extremely popular, replacing T1 and E1 for data delivery. Go PAIR!
