I was hoping (to be honest) that cool would hang around $25 after options started so I can back up the ship and buy March CALLS at a low price.. Bet the sharks will run up the price, SELL a bunchs of CALLS, then the stock most likely would bleed down again to normal levels, in which case buying PUTS at the hight end would be a COOL "thang" to make money. The investors in COOL probably would like to see the stock grow over time and the traders want the volatility, up... then down... repeat.. lather... rinse.. hee! Better to buy PUT options at let say $40 than to short at $40, less risk.. What it for some bizzare reason ran it ran to $60+ and someone shorted it @ $40? yikes!! With the option, you only lose the inital "risk capital".. hee! Same for CALL in the opposite manner! hee! Hokie DoHkie! Pirate
