Thanks for the clarification, edamo. Regarding options, you made an interesting comment in one of your earlier posts:

but you should only use options as an investment enhancement if you firmly believe in upward bias

In my case, I have limited options to less than a few percent of my investment capitol, and concentrated my activities to stocks that I own and follow on a regular <obsessive> basis. I try to use my "insights" into changing fundamentals to increase my chances of making money on the options plays. So far the results have been humbling, and the returns have given my wife reason to doubt my competency <g>.

In the hands of experts, like yourself and Don Martini, options seem to be a sure fire way to enhance returns. In my hands, they are like a pair of dice <vbg>.
