I disagree a little bit Meerkat.

The Oppies are often at a 35c discount to the FPO's and very rarely have I ever seen them within the 30c exercise price.

Its understandable now that the leverage on the oppies reduce as the price surges but it has been consistent right through this run.

My initial purchase was FPOs when the options still weren't in the money. Since then I've bought 3 sets of MAKO's.

22.5c when FPOs were at 57.

36c when FPOs were at 64c. Panic buy at market by me as the price shot away.

54c when FPOs were 89c.

Even if you do want FPOs - just buy the options and convert and save yourself some cash. 37c differential as I type. $1.77 Vs $1.40.
