CALM - I wonder how much longer the shorts can keep this one under control. I picked up a few shares and Aug 40 Calls @ 41.00.

Shares Outstanding - 23.71MM
Float - 14.23 MM
Short Interest - 15.22MM

OE, so far so good with PFE (looking to add more)& INTU. I'm looking at ETFC...AUG 3's or Sep 3's-any thoughts?....oh and did you get stopped out yet of WAMU?

Nice! In this kind of market, it's good to stay CALM.

Darwin, nice work on those PFE calls! There was a great low-risk entry at 18.50 but I passed on Friday. The daily is looking good! Regarding ETFC, the brokers are looking bearish so I'd pass. Regarding WAMU, I got stopped out late in the day. I'll look for a decent entry once it trades back over the moving averages on the 30-min chart.

The shorts took CALM down again late in the day and my position with it. If/when the market rebounds, that will be the squeeze of the month.

Gio, I'm still reeling over the PCX move. That was a great short Friday and an even better one today. Glad you got a piece of JRCC and CSIQ, though.
