AlienTech,

And you think I am kidding. These are the same people who lost 50K worth of JBL puts. I had bought JBL last year at 42, and then bought the @ 45 puts, earnings didnt workout, stock tanked. Logged on the following monday, stock was still there but puts disappeard and got a margin call. Told me I didnt call and excercise it so they didnt do anything and the puts expired worthless. Yea it worked out, but my poor ticker almost went out there.

Just a question. How deep in the money were those puts? If they were 3 points, should have been auto exercised by the exchange.

Good Trading

Dave

AT, I don't quite get what you mean. Anyway, I don't play option and I don't hold gainer with >100% overnight. Thanks for that warning. I have to say I'm not happy with them at all! Care to recommend a better one? I don't want to switch and end up in the same or worst boat.
