No thanks. The closest I come to options is selling them against my position. Suprisingly, this has almost always been a losing proposition, not that I didn't make a profit, but that I would have made more if I had just held the underlying stock. So I don't do that anymore either.

We are just going to have to wait until they announce earnings and see what they say.

Consensus for this quarter is a loss of $1.74, but the only new estimate since October is for a loss of $1.65. Plus the last two quarters they have blown out estimates <G> (Actual loss of $1.57 v. Expected loss of $1.75; actual loss of $1.03 v. expect loss of $1.23). Who knows, maybe they'll only lose $1.50 this quarter. Seriously, I'd think they could do better than that, but we'll see.
