Any others just costing the premium we should know about?

$AVXL options have been challenging and I've traded them frequently since the first day they were available. I'm primarily a long stock position trader, but use options as a speculative kicker,and I also routinely sell covered calls. Often times I end up legging into bull call spreads or ratio spreads when I oversell covered calls versus the long calls.

For me long call options are for fun and speculation. I basically get 1 or 2 long call bets correct a year and then piss it all away on losing long call bets for a net break even. A common pattern for a diehard optimist.
