Hi Paul

I am eyeing more bank stocks too. I added a few more shares of C to my IRA portfolio at $43.49 (sold AWE). They go x-dividend on the 10-29-04 so you get the next dividend of $0.40 too.

I am also buying more shares of NYB by selling the January $20 Put. They pay $1.15 to buy shares at $20 in January. My expectations is to have the stock put to me at $20. The stock goes x-dividend in February ($0.25) so you will get the dividend which yields 4.8%. If the stock does not close below $20 in January, then you keep the option premium.

I missed picking up more SFL at $19.21 yesterday but plan to buy more if we get another chance at these levels. I have accumulated shares at $18, $20 and $21.

It appears that the market may be reacting to an apparent Kerry victory and the rising oil prices do not help either.
