getgreen, the very FIRST ques you have to ask yourself is whether you agree w/ Mide's 90% odds in favor of Russian LOC deposit this wk or next. If you're that certain too, than his game plan may be a fit for you as well. Street obviously not as confident as Mide at this time or you would be seeing greater volume, pps. (4Q rev's may have dramatic increase, but what about margin? Previous CEO comments make Q4 anticipation not all that exciting. Strat upcoming news---who could possibly tie the company down to 3 mos segments in that--heretofore the Co has not met any Strat deadline (well, I guess the Feb float test was met---not that ANY info on it was provided).
Options at this stage of the game (IF you're not as certain as Mide) pose a double handicap: you already have the Company timing handicap and now you've added a market timing handicap. You know what I'm saying? Options are a bet in time---you may have placed the correct bet, but if your timing is off, your option invt expires worthless anyway. It's not a game plan for a novice.
