You pay $$$ for the right to buy a stock at a certain price in the future, before a specific date. If you don't use the OPTION you lose the $$$ you put down. If no IPO before 2/8, many speculators may turn to OPTIONS rather than actually buying and holding stock. This could adversally effect the stock price = less buying = lower price. A good site about OPTIONS - members.xoom.com vb

Annette: Instead of losing just a little money, you can lose it all protecting other profits.....simple example: Your long a thousand shares of NAVR....you go purchase 1 put against NAVR to protect against your 1k shares....NAVR goes up...your put expires worthless(or close to it).....NAVR goes down and your put makes up the diffrence that you lost actually owning NAVR long......similar to shorting against the box, but more effective and cheaper to say the least. I hope that helps you at least a little. Also.....I found this in #daytraders...pretty good actually...NAVR has a "cult" following now it seems :) indigofish.com regards- F~

"An IPO announcement is due within 60 days of Dec 7, 1998." I have heard this said many times. Shouldn't it say: "An IPO announcement is due at some time after Feb 7th, 1999" It doesn't HAVE TO happen before the end of sixty days, just sometime after, right? - or am I wrong on this? vb

CBOE options is a postive for NAVR. > So what does it mean? I don't know options.... The CBOE options will ADD liquidity to the stock, as it would for the other companies announced to have options traded. This has nothing to do with the nature of the stock or how it trades.

OPTIONS - Everyone's given you all the pertinent answers and definition of options. I brought it up not for its function but for what's between the lines. To simplify: It means wider acceptance of "smaller" net companies mentioned by the institutions like CBOE. I guess this means they woke up and decided that these net companies are not just flash in the pans anymore but a viable business and "conduit of $$$$", that will be here for a while and won't go up in smoke on the next "correction".
