Re short position.

Well, this does not feel like a head fake. They waited out the post "Stacy Drops the bomb" selling. Obviously the upgrades know about the flat revenue, and they are looking past that.

I just stayed put with short covered calls for the January strike of $25. With everything optioned out, the volatility is much less wearying.
