Jill: Let me first say that we are fortunate that Poet called you and that you and she are willing to put up with the other stuff (whatever it may turn out to be) from the wild types on this thread - men or women. I, for one, very much look forward to the options discussions. Very pleased options, godzillas and pebbles (which IMO is an absurdity on its face as a name or category) will be discussed here. What are called shiny pebbles on the other thread are very very alive and dynamic small rapidly growing new companies in leading edge fields - that ain't no static pebble which just lies there inert) (but then mythology may help - flying expanding pebbles may be what we can imagine).. But as an old retired man, what pleases me the most is that you and Poet will be here with the ideas and fresh approaches you have. One of an old man's joys, and sadly I am one, is the intellectual stimulation which comes from good ideas and different ways of looking at things. Outside the box. That is really why I am so pleased that you and Poet will use this thread as your home away from home. In short, we need you. And the options part is a great learning experience for us whether we use it very often or not. Most of my fellow old guys think that bank CD's are as "risky" as they can afford. I try to tell them that bank CD's are just what they should avoid - except as a minimal nest egg for emergencies and contingencies.. But that is not heard. Hard to get old folks to realize that they lose money with low interest. The opportunity cost concept (what you lose by not chosing your best alternative) is not understood. Preservation of capital is the mantra. But that you need growth investments to preserve your capital is not understood. And the Wall Street "gurus" hurt old folks badly by failing to make that clear. That is why some growth investments and even some carefully selected options seem to be a good idea regardless of age. But enough. Again, pleased you have decided to use this thread for your options discussions. And I, for one, will look to you for other good ideas too. Pleased you are staying. Cha2
