I love contrarian ideas especially in a market full of trend followers but you have to defend it especially if you want input by posting a thread like this.
Ok , so currently it's a better return than the 184 ,but hear me out on this , I know my wild gamble paid off , but we can assume t won't try to one up Verizon and I don't think t mobile wants a part of this so basically the ceiling is 184-190 , since the options don't expire til mid June ,is it worth it to stick around in case something breaks down ? I know I have gotten burned before by not taking profits , but this might be a good hold spot.

What's your objective? I think you clearly cash out here because remember Verizon is the company that bought AOL & is buying Yahoo. They are a lock to close, I guess I don't get why you'd want to keep your money tied up given you got what you wanted out of it. At least take half...

You have a double in what will become half of that when the deal closes at $184, can't believe you are thinking of holding lol.

Verizon doesn't want STRP pal. They will get out of it.

Care to wager on that and/or are you short then? Where is the evidence?
