do you still do rmbs? No, I would rather pout about selling just before it's big move than to get back in and make money ;o) I've been just a watcher for months. Occasionally selling calls but mostly just watching and waiting. I'm pathalogically adverse to selling at the bottom, even when some of my shares continue to make new bottoms. Dell is going to breach it's 52 week low. I didn't think that was possible, I'm still up to my neck in Dell shares and can't seem to believe it's trading so low. Since I haven't been selling, I don't have lots of cash. I'm down to my last $40K (and don't really have that since I'm margined $30K in another account). What do you think about selling puts Monday? Somehow I feel they are less risky than buying common on margin, since with luck only a fraction of the puts would actually get assigned to me. I'd be nowhere without luck. TP
