I'd like to chime in on the options question. I don't see their discussion out of place here (any more than dancing...no offense to Lindy...or various other comments and discussions). I have used both put and call options with Gorilla stocks, to good and bad effects. For example, I've sold a number of GMST puts over the past few months that greatly decreased my cost basis (on one occasion the stock was put to me, on the others they expired and I kept the premiums). I tried the same strategy with QCOM, with the HOPE of having some shares put to me, and the stock ran away (I kept the premiums as a consolation prize). I have learned from these experiences, and would like to hear other's experiences to learn from their's. If one is not interested in the option questions, they can scroll on past (as I tend to do when the technospeak gets a little heavy for my simple brain!).

I'd hate to have to monitor yet ANOTHER thread! (I don't imagine that the option posts would get that frequent here...I think its just a nice OPTION to have!)

p.s. Didn't our leader Frank trade LEAPS on Gorillas?
