This time I am looking for some more volatility and going in for a gold mining company. No, I am not going in with again. This time I am going with Yamana Gold

One reason is that the implied volatility for Yamana is higher than Newmont. The other reason is that the call option chain premiums looked attractive to me. Yamana stock is trading at $13.91 per share at the time of this writing. I was able to get in on the January 2010 $15 call option of AUY (option symbol: AUYAC) at a premium of $53 per contract.
