Your comment on option sales is troubling (in my mind). People
who sell CALLs usually must have the underlying stock in their
portfolio (a COVERED CALL). Why would anyone sell calls if they
expected the stock to skyrocket? If it did, they'd be in the
proverbial "red" big time.

The following is subject to my sometimes failing memory...

My friend is a trader. He said that call purchases are sometimes
made to protect oneself from "short selling gone bad." If alot
of calls are being sold, and alot are being purchased, maybe people
feel the stock is overvalued... Not my opion BTW. caveat: I may
have my terms mixed up here, maybe someone can verify the above.

Just some food for thought -- I'm still positive and in the game.

Chuck
