I'm puzzling over timing on CIEN options. They haven't annoiunced an earnings call date, but it's thought to be roughly between Dec. 4th and 10th or so. The options are pretty wimpy as far as returns go, but there's an expected boost between the ones expiring presumably pre-earnings and the ones that will almost surely will be post earnings. I can't figure what's the best way to 'play' it - will the option premium get sweeter as we approach earnings, or will the time value lost make it less attractive than to option it out now at a post-earnings date? There's also the complexity of perhaps optioning it out at a satisfactory price pre-earnings, and if it doesn't finish ITM, re-optioning it post earnings to get the 'premium boost'. I'm not sure there's enough interest to get a reply on that, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway.
