Mike, the dummies are still out there but smaller and growing like weeds now. There was a post on an unmentionable thread from a guy that was holding 50 strike calls long into expiry and the stock was 40ish. He was asking his fanatic thread mates how he could convince one of his partners (apparently his was a ship of fools and one, not so foolish) to exercise the calls, which he astutely noted had a bid of zero! At first us Mythsters thought it was a digging gag on the fanatic Church, but subsequently it seems it was legit. Now that is the guy I want exclusive trading rights with. -vbg- Ice
