Teflon, I plan to switch from options to shares before or after the split. Might go with an all shares portfolio. It all depends on how the stock behaves in the next couple of weeks. If we reach 190 by next Friday--I am switching to shares. If we reach 180--I would sell a lot of my calls and buy shares. If we stay at 170----then it is a tougher call. I have to make a few decisions on my holding. I am undecided but growing tired of options trading---too much monitoring of the stock is required. That is the principal reason for wanting to be in shares (whether margined or not). I find options takes too much out of you whether you win or not.
