Mike, are you concerned [looks like not] that IO on DRG is near nothing, and they trade little, and they're Euro style - so that, in case you get deep in the money, what's there to make the specialist to buy you out at a decent price? Assuming you don't promise to date his sister, of course. -g-

Thread, I am trying to figure out a repair for CIEN. This dog has defied all predictions. The day they announced the .8 deal, I had order to sell at 37 1/2(ask 37 1/8) as it was on an uptick. Came back from shower and it had disappeared from the radar. So much for greed. Eventually I sold 2/3 shares at 32(after seeing lows of 26). On friday I bought back the Sept 35 calls I sold for 5 1/4 at 1/8 to close. That leaves my Sept 30 calls free. My net cost on the calls was $3 but I am trying to get as close to my net. I am thinking of buying back 2/3 shares to bring my Nut down. Do you think this dog has any surprises left. thanks, Deep
