TSO, I'll do my best but that is a tall order. Just sold 4 more of my LEAPS on ANF. The WFMAD'S sold at 10 1/2 paid 4 5/8 weird having any capital gains in this market. Of course they will easily be off set by MASSIVE CAPITAL LOSSES on my INTC, CSCO, EMC, ORCL, LSI, and LU CALLS!!!!
How stupid was I to believe that these companies would survive the lemming mentality of the "Banana Republic".
I let the tax tail wag the dog not so with ANF am taking my CG's as I can get them just to buck up my spirits in this dreary depressing market.
I did win $710.00 on instant scratch tickets with a friend this week end after we spent $55.00 each. Massachusettes has $10.00 scratch tickets. The odds of winning a $4,000,000 instant prize are 5,000,0000 to one. There are ten $4,000,000 instant prizes and twenty $1,000,000 instant prizes. The odds of winning these prizes are much better than any of my Jan calls coming back. To think I actually had capital gains in the good old days of Feb. and Mar. when I bailed out of my calls and parlayed bargain buying of Jan calls on the aforementioned companies into late summer. Waiting with bated breath for the Nov., Dec. TSO POST ELECTION RALLY <GGGG>.
