Morning Clappie:

You want to know what I really miss? It's those small cereal boxes (Notice that in order to be PC they got rid of the word "sugar", in sugar smacks or sugar pops (now called corn pops). Remember those small boxes of cereal where you would cut out two small doors in the box, pour in milk (or beer perhaps?) and eat itout of the box!

Great stuff!!!

I got a call from maintinence from Schwab. Their feared Risk department. Their storm troopers called me this morning and indicated that I still needed to make up another $32K, despite the fact that the market opened higher and erased most of these deficits. They inidicated that they were just following orders! To add further insult to injury, I provided them with selling some calls that I already bought on the July 160 QCOM. Even though it was trading (at that time at 15 7/8 by 16 3/8, they wanted to sell me out at 15 3/8. I had to insist that I wanted out at the 15 7/8 price (as long as I was forced to sell). Got out at my price.

Another horror story to be added to the annals of history. Maybe that's why they can be such a pain in the butt (add you own favorite adjective if you like).

Here to a better today!!!!!

Keep smiling on the porch. I'll bring the Corn (sugar) puffs.

David
