Option question?

[MrWilson]

I have read a couple post's (jacobnbr1) regarding extending option dates, was I reading them wrong or can you extend your option expiration date for a fee? I have two options that will expire Jan 21, I will take a beating on them if they do not pullback soon (GOOG being one). Can someone give me some info on this.

TIA

you might have been misled by my postings.
the problem i had was with appl and wmb. the appl puts expire in jan and it was middle of december when i realized the puts would be deemed worthless, therefore i sold for what i could get out of them and applied the cash toward a new position longer out. i still feel the same as far as the position but changed the time lenght by paying a little more out and selling when there was still somthing to get back. if you can follow what i am saying?
it is better off to be safe than sorry, i also took a small bet and placed it against the opposite direction incase i was wrong. it is called a stangle or stradle.
