Does anyone think it's a good time to buy August call options? The last 2 months when the stock dipped like this, whoever bought made a bundle.

Any opinions?

Patroller,

<Peter don't even think about selling them their as good as gold.>

I hope we're both right about this. At this point, I notice the
stock closed for the day at 31 3/8, so I'm paying a $5 time
premium for an option 8 months out in the future. Can anybody
help me figure out how much of that amount is actually the time
premium, and how much should be apportioned to the volatility
component? Any help there appreciated. Good luck to all. Peter.
