Sorry I ,misunderstood and deleted the prior reply.
You don't think the stock is actually going to rally to even half of what xm is trading at right now?
I am new to options and on Friday I bought a $5 Mar 07 call and since then the call is down 25% so it is making me nervous.
Do you have any sugestion... Should I sell and take a loss,wait and see if it rebounds, or something else...
Thanks
Buying a call is a pure bullish directional play. Since you wern't really sure a spread would have hedged your bet. Selling the DEC 5 creating a calendar is a possibility. The problem with cheap stocks is it is hard to do any meaningful option play other than straight directional put or call. At this point you might just want to cut you loss or pare down the # of contracts. When any directional play goes against you right away you are better off closing it. Remember Theta is your enemy and the longer you wait the more you will lose.
no opinion on the stock..GL
