Robin, your query was to Judy and I won't answer save to please implore you NOT to invest that much in an option ever again, especially in an internet option. I had YHOO this morning and I shrugged off a 3/4 point error and went right on to the next trade which happened to have been way more successful (COF, DELL puts). had I 'nursed' the YHOO calls, I would have missed the other ones.

Robin, Your Oct calls are in a race against time, expiry is next Friday and the calls are about 27 points out of the money last I checked. Whether YHOO can run up more than 29 points between today and expiry I have no idea. But that is how much the stock would have to go for you to make more than closing out the position today. The prem has been stripped of the earnings volatility already, and the spread between bid/ask normally will not narrow until 2-3 days before expiry. As for which stocks you should trade or invest in, it depends on your own risk tolerance, trading/investment style, investment objective and time horizon. Seeking the advice of others at SI may be more harmful than helpful until you have defined those parameters.
