Uncle Frank, I resisted options for a long time but it got very tempting this month. I had still become conservative in holding only in the money calls (except the odd day or 2 day trade). I don't have any out of the money calls except leaps2002 on MSFT. I have come a long way and still have a way to go. Last year i would have gone as far out of the money as i could.

This month has been too tempting; i plan to make some more cash on call option in MSFT and buy shares in a few weeks. If i had been my old self in thes last 2 weeks, i would have been on cloud nine or cloud 10.

After these couple of weeks, i am going to take a vacation (from options) until very late this year when i plan to load up a bit thanks to the Y2K panic. I still won't bet the farm. Those days are over. That is going to be one hell of an opportunity--that i won't be able to pass up. That still gives me a few months to relax!

In a month or so, i might be ready to build a G and K portfolio.
