Greetings Uncle Frank,

You know I'm no pro here, but I've had a pretty good time selling out of the money, short term covered calls on some of my LTBH positions, if there is a pop a couple of weeks before expiration. Today's examples are QCOM 85's, NTAP's 70's, SEBL's 80's, CREE's 40's and NT's 37.50's. Only will lose the NT shares at a profit. I only mentioned the Max Pain as one more reference.

The premiums equaled 1/4 of my day job's annual salary. Isn't this what the books mean when they say 9 out of 10 options expire worthless?

Oh well, the real "pain" may be you'll have to shake my hand again in San Diego <g>

Tony
