It is possible to get screwed. I just wanted to do a dollar for dollar transaction when I converted HDD to DSS this morning. I sold 1,000 shares and bought 10 contracts (options on 1,000 shares) with little additional out-of-pocket. You can get screwed on the thinly traded options market, but I think it is a timely play given that I think that some Gilder readers (see Daisey) haven't figured it out, yet. Perhaps George ought to use larger fonts, more pages, and include some crayons with the newsletter (for coloring the pretty graphs)...

Storage is not my forte, and I think that I'm inclined to take less risk here. $22K is a throw-down money as far as I'm concerned, and hence I am not likely to be upset if it doesn't pan-out.

Regards,

LoD
