july calls implied volatility of 47 which is relatively high. i am considering selling them against my long stock position. IMHO, it is not worth selling calls. If the stock was at 90 with the same volatility I would agree. It has dropped too much--all to do with the trial uncertainty. IMHO, all the negatives are factored into the current price. Any news of a settlement or even talks in the near future and the stock will take off. Even a slightly better trial performance could do the same thing. Poor performance is already expected anyways and won't be a surprise. A bit more weakness and I am going to consider buying the July calls.
