In order to keep the Speedfam thread focused on the fundamentals of this excellent little company, yet still provide a venue for  the discussion of options strategies, I am starting this new  thread.  Let's try to keep the topics somewhat pure:  reasoned long- term analysis of SFAM in the SFAM folder; options strategies and  shorter-term indications of SFAM prospects in this one.  The PHLX and CBOE started trading options on SFAM February 24.  So far, the open interest is a whopping 19 contracts in all call options combined.  The option symbol prefix for SFAM options is FQF, and there are options for Mar, Apr, Jul, and Oct for the 35, 40, and 45 strikes. The symbols are as follows:                 Mar    Apr    Jul    Oct Calls   35  FQFCG  FQFDG  FQFGG  FQFJG         40  FQFCH  FQFDH  FQFGH  FQFJH         45  FQFCI  FQFDI  FQFGI  FQFJI Puts    35  FQFOG  FQFPG  FQFSG  FQFVG         40  FQFOH  FQFPH  FQFSH  FQFVH         45  FQFOI  FQFPI  FQFSI  FQFVI  Keep in mind that the vast majority of people that use options to speculate on stocks lose their shirts.  Make sure you understand the downside potential of all options positions before you enter into them, and limit the money you commit to a small percentage of your  portfolio--so small that you won't lose sleep if you lose it all.  Profitable investing, Mr. Sam</description><image><url>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/images/Logo380x132.png</url><title>SI - Speedfam Options Discussions</title><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/subject.aspx?subjectid=13143</link><width>380</width><height>132</height></image><ttl>10</ttl></channel></rss>
