Ok, Believe it or not, I was able to get the most of the spreadsheet info posted. Perhaps now you can see how I monitor each one of my stocks, tranactions, and what if possibilities. Now, I have the $1,947.43 in my account which I'm able to use to generate more profits with calls on the side of VVUS or any other opportunity. If the stock starts to take off I can hedge my position by buying my own calls perhap for an August or September call at or below the strike price of my CC. I don't like to cover unless there is a dip and I can keep 75% to 80% of my CC premies intact. And finally, the end result or rate of return is guess work at this point since it can go up if I trade the options on the side. Or, VVUS may stall and I don't get called out. But, it sure beats sitting around and hoping for a profit! One final note! This position is 50% margined. So, the rate of return is double the value it reads. What you invest vs. what you get back is the way to calculate your %. So, since half of it is not my money the profits are much higher. The margin interest is so small I don't even waste my time trying to count pennies. TUESDAY July 15, 1997 DATE TECH DATA ACTION / PLAY $ INVESTED # SHARES/OPT. AVG.
