Mike,

The mention of Presstek curdles my blood.

It beat the hell out of me as I short it from about $60 and kept adding cash to cover the maint. up to the $130s or so until I ran out of $$.. a broken man.

I now only play the bull side of the market, as I'm basically an optimist and I think it's bad karma to go against your nature. Work's well since we've had quite a bull market.

I'll likely regret it terribly in the next year or so.

I'm still looking for a way to strap on some kind of spreads onto my highly appreciated INTC CSCO MSFT positions to generate 7% or so. All I can find are simult. covered calls with long puts at same strike for 5% or so.. ideas?

Richard
