LG, I like your list and printed it to post next to my list. One I like from yours is to not try to beat a stock which continues to beat you. YHOO 'owed' me money. I first bought calls on it after it shed 30 points last quarter (after great earnings). It then fell another 60 points. I then bought puts on it this quarter (again after great earnings) and it proceeded to rise 15 points the next day<G>. I threw in the towel and just wished you had printed your list before<G>. The one thing I add to your list is, when using options, buy yourself leaps (if possible) or at least go out 6 months. Even if you expect it to move shortly, give yourself time. Thanks again! Steve D.
