OT - CIEN calls. Midpoint of Dec. 2nd stk 22 calls is .53. Midpoint of Dec. 9 stk 22 calls is $1.07. Thought I might be going blind first, although their cc is supposed to be on or about Dec. 2nd. Then realized the spread between bid/ask on Dec. 9th calls is insane, making that number ...meaningless, I guess. I wonder whether it will 'normalize' and whether there will be a premium of risk for holding it through earnings. I'll have whatever's Jon's having. I'm with him. 

(And I'm probably the least entitled person to make political comments. But the board has been eerily silent. Have you all moved to New Zealand already? I've often mulled the grammatical nuances of who is getting 'empowered' by the slogan "I'm with her", as opposed to "She's with me." I wonder if had anyone in her campaign not missed that, she might've won enough of the hillbilly vote to win. Or maybe not - Maybe Jester was just right - the anger level was high enough that people were willing to trash this country out of spite. I share Jester's sense of being 'aghast' - we survived Dubya because he was merely stupid. Can we survive a President that is - no kidding - a primitive sociopath who is narcissistically crazy?

Has this changed anyone's stock strategy? A company that patents a formula to make food out of nuclear rubble?)
