3 veiws of a secret said:As you know I don't trade options as yet (but tempted) I could'nt give a damn about the porkie pies or whatever ,beleive me....I was trying to reason out if the options had any significance to when the shares shuddered after the announcement. I think i need some kind soul to hold my hand and guide me through this option labrynth.....as I said it's interesting!

Re opies: For example I picked up another 250k @0.015 cost = $3750 + brokerage say $4k all up, so my total exposure on that trade is $4k ie max downside, however upside is unlimited, if JMS sign some huge deal stock rockets to 30c, (since opies are 20c) they get to 10c my $4k posistion is now worth $25k
But back to JMS, good to see it now has support at 15c remember
Technical chart points to watch
Support 13c (Very strong)
Support 15c (Just got through but looks like its confirmed)
Resistance 19c (Very Strong needs to break and hold for at least 1 week to confirm)
Resistance 21c Blue Sky!
dj_420 said:it would depend on what people paid for the options.
say you paid 2 cents for options with strike price of 20 cents. the shareprice therefore has to get to 22 cents before it is in the money. therefore to exercise your options under 22 cents you lose money.
and as the sp gets closer to the strike price the option price will increase. so its not necessarily the fact that as soon as sp hits 20 cents then everyone will convert their options.
and then it also depends on expiry date, people would want to wait as long as possible before conversion if stock is in an uptrend and have only just entered in the money.
ive only really started learning about options but that is a couple of very general points i have picked up.

JMS are looking good, bought the shares and not the options, good, but not as good as it could have been.
that is what we are all hoping.blueroo said:Having missed selling on the spike on August 3, I certainly hope that we get a sustainable result from this ann. There has only been slight see-sawing for the last 6 months
