Espcially with earnings on Jan 21. I expect it to run up into earnings and then have them report a good number. I used to be the marketing manager at a company and am very familiar with online marketing. Google is still the #1 marketing channel and is only getting stronger. Yahoo and MSN could compete but their systems are just so hard to use to set up your ads and such that it is very frustrating - to the point were many marketers i know dont even bother with Yahoo and MSN.

You can do either or both. I have been long the stock for a while and continue to be so. Selling the puts though lets me take advantage of the situation and make a decent percentage/month No, they are two seperate trades in two different accounts. You can do either or both.

But I don't understand when you say- "I am already long the stock, and have sold the Jan 560/570 put spread." Would you call this stratgey a covered put? Thanks. Nice analysis.
