AKAM – Akamai Technologies (Last:22.45)

We hold 200 shares with an adjusted cost basis of 16.73. Shorting some option premium against them on the last run-up might have been warranted, but having missed the opportunity, we can take encouragement from the fact that Friday’s high slightly exceeded the look-to-the-left peak at 19.46 recorded on the way down a day earlier. _______ UDPATE (October 29, 10:12 a.m. EDT):  The stock has opened on a huge gap today.  Sell half the position (i.e., 100 shares) now, for around 22.45.  A sale at that price would give us an adjusted cost basis of 11.01 for the remaining round lot.
