Craig, OK you're a glutton for punishment. However, I'm a goof since I purchased 30 OCT 35 calls 6 weeks ago! Both probably trading at about the same price by now! Best of Luck, 3Com Boy!

>>Call me a glutton for punishment but I just bought 50 Sep 25 calls.<< I would think you'd want to get the October calls. 3Com will report a few days after the Sept expiration date. Looks to me like the few weeks before earnings are going to be a replay of the few weeks before earnings last time. Another words, lots of fear...unless there is some good guidance. Probably not going to happen, and if it does who will believe? Unless your strategy is to buy for a quick sale when the 3Com price pops up a bit? Anotherwords, short term options trading?

I think throwing quarters into the sewer would be more fun. 50 Sept calls. That is the funniest thing I ever heard of. This stock will have to double in a bear market. Ha ha ha. Why do shorters always get flamed? I suggesting shorting ASND yesterday...and got toasted from people who are long. Geez, bunch of idiots think a stock will go straight up. Stocks never hit 52 week highs in a bear market. While does idiots were buying, I was shorting and now I am up over 2 pts. Go figure. COMS has huge resistance levels it needs to overcome, that is not possible in this market environment. It will break the 52 week low looking at the chart all technical indicators provide no support for this stock. It will go lower and stablize once it hits a new bottom.
