Uncle Frank,

Not meant as investment advice, but one thing that I have learned after losing a lot of money (albeit mostly paper gains) in options is to never press the bet too hard. 400% sounds excellent to me. And then there are 3 more earnings coming up this year (though I usually avoid the Nov one). Besides that, in general my personal philosophy is to get rid of short-term options the moment they start to control too much of my life.

-BGR.

I'm sitting at the blackjack table, and just got dealt an ace of hearts (dlqbq Feb. 85 calls) and a jack of spades (dlqbr Feb. 90 calls). But the dealer has an ace (Tom Kurlak) showing, and I've only got 10 seconds (2/19 expiry) to figure out whether to take insurance and settle for even money (+400%) or go for the gusto (2/16 earnings report).

What to do, what to do.

Frank

GO FOR IT
