tuck, So all you lost was a bit of sleep and a few years off your life <ggg>. Speaking of selling options, I decided the other day it would be a grand idea to sell a strangle on BRCD with puts at 30 and calls at 35. I legged in and collected $5, but that stock has been crazy the last few days and I just chickened out and unwound it. The idea I think has merit though. Collect the premium and keep all of it if the stock closes in the 30 to 35 window. Any time the stock moves out of the window, be long on the high side, or short on the low side. It should work fairly well if the stock is not bouncing around too much, but I think I started too early to play the game with that particular beast. Wondering what kind of selling you do. Dan
