Steve -- THQI options are outrageously expensive. bullish option players may want to sell puts. (i've sold march 20s and 22.5s) option prices are so high that my options calculator ("Options Toolbox", available from the CBOE) won't even "accept" them as entries for analysis -- i.e. the implied volatilities are much greater than .999. (this is a shortcoming of the program -- the market has been so volatile that the _historical_ volatilities (i.e. the real volatilities of stock prices) are well above 1.0 for many stocks. still, the THQI option prices are extremely inflated even relative to recent stock price movements.) tom
