David. >>>Not sure the risk reward on that would suit me. <<< I hear ya. I don't see any risk of CSCO taking a trip below $50 on a closing basis (famous last words). The reward isn't all that big...I'm trying something new over the last few months. Instead of thinking about % return on each play, I'm thinking of "how can I make a fast 4-figure profit". Grabbing 4-figure profits on a regular basis adds up pretty fast...once in awhile, a play goes against me (you already have seen that), but once in awhile the 4-figure profit turns to 5-figures. Thinking in terms of dollars, instead of in terms of % has helped me I think. Do you, or does anyone else have comments on this? Quite a few people I know have a tough time knowing when to take profit (including me). This seems to help me pile up profits more consistently. Anyway, I sold puts again on CSCO. Same month & strike but for 1 5/8 this time (a little bargain hunting when the stock dipped near $50). I agree with you on MSFT, INTC & AOL. >>>Any other ideas 'Oh Wise One' ? : ) <<< Hmmm. Are you being a bit sarcastic with me? :) No new ideas...just watching my list of stocks closely at the moment. Talk to you later.
