Thanks for the note @longskew - certainly hear and understand your commentary on various fronts, and as noted from the outset the post was intended in effect as a place for discussion of the listed WML options and concepts generally, and without giving any buy, hold or sell advice at the current levels offered or otherwise (with various express caveats given with respect to risk)!

Each to their own strategies / investment decisions of course - personally company options have worked well for me in the past (i.e I am not new to them).

Very best to you.
