Thanks Mike. I've been trading like the Energizer Bunny this year. I think Earlie is right on a nice pop, I'll jump on one more time to finish the year. But, next year, I don't want to work this hard for 12%. Spread conversions looks like a winner! As you recommended, I'm in the Royce trusts for a nice 8.5% yield. Is there any way to goose up the yield on this or other bond types to 10%? Is somebody ever going to buy Novell? I bought some on the sell-off 10 11/16. Now, I don't know what to do with them. I hate writing calls on a buy out candidate. But, I could sell the 10 Jan 2002 call for 4 5/8 and buy the 10 puts for 2 9/16. Risk free 15% for 15 months. Or, is it worth to try for better returns elsewhere? If I ride it without the put, that's 40%. Good - if they are still in business - or bought out.
