QUESTION FROM BILL:HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GO OVER THIS NEXT
WEEK BEFORE JAN 23. NLOK (AKA OLD SYMC ) IS PAYING A 12 SPECIAL
DIVIDEND WITH EX DATE OF FEB 3RD, SO WHY ARE THE PUTS SO CHEAP? IF
THE STOCK IS AROUND 26 BUCKS, WOULDN'T THE 25 OR 26 PUT BE SELLING
FOR MORE THAN A BUCK IF WE ASSUME THE STOCK WILL DROP BY 12 BUCKS
AFTER THE EX DATE? THANKS
QUESTION FROM PAUL M.
PAULINO: HELLO, WHAT IS
THE OPTION STRATEGY I CAN TAKE IF THE CALL OPTION I BOUGHT DOES NOT

GOING UP. OTHER THAN SELLING TO CLOSE THE CALL OPTION, IS THERE
ANOTHER ACTION I CAN TAKE TO AVOID THE LOSS. WHEN CAN I HEAR YOUR
ANSWER?
