The plan is to cash them in when SWC hits 12.00 before January, triple the profit on the investment and risk the premium. Bought: 1 boatload of SWC January 7.50 calls for .85 cents each.

I bought Stillwater @$9.82 in July of 08 and decided I had lost enough on it by April 09 and reluctantly sold at $4.43! Learned a few lessons since, circumstances can change RAPIDLY and I cut my losses sooner and also take profits much more quickly when I have them because it s easy to let them slip away. Must be working because I had DOUBLED my money for 09 by the last day of May, now I am wrestling with HOW to hang on to the gains in the current market downturn. TIMING in both buying and selling is so crucial, buy and hold is not appropriate for this market in most cases. YOU HAD TO shove my nose in it didn’t you?
