watcher01.....options will IMO be available when all this S4V, and waterfall money starts to flow with the bk closure, coming soon....IMO, only, with such a small float available for MM to make a market, covered call options would limit available shares to lend out for shorting for Prime Brokerage houses who lend shares for those that want short positions.... remember, if you have a covered call option on a stock that you own long in your account, those shares cannot be used for shorting...covered call options would dry up any available shares to short.......just hold on for awhile, as I am...I plan to travel off of the premiums generated by my covered call options...
