EBAY @ 6650
Feb $65 Straddle ofer @ $585 (Short from $638 avg.)

I'm going to offset 100 of my synth. short straddles here for $5500up -- 300x remaining.

arb.

22x to the buy done at $5.80 synthetically(stock//puts). I'l let it ride to my b/e on the remainder, offseting before data if Ebay breaks $61.20 or $68.80.

that "beating" you refer to was actually a debate of dissenting opinions [as opposed to ass-kissing which is what many here prefer]

ME, i prefer the lively debate anytime :-/

Really? Word on the street, sizzle chest, is that you enjoy both a beating and an ass kissing, preferably at the same time.
