steve, i don't entirely understand either how buying a cc at a lower price and selling one at a higher price does anything but lose money. please explain for the simple-minded like myself.

my limited understanding is that after i sold my cc, while the stock goes up i can only watch it and see if i get called out. yea, if it dips i could buy the cc back, and hope to sell one when it rises. therefore, i make a profit on the difference of the two. but i'd have to count on the stock going back up after i bought back my cc.

is what you are describing some sort of repair? please share with us how one could repair, eg., my VVUS oct 30 cc when the stock is going up.

(my 2 mcmillan texts are on the way from amazon.com)

thanks,
vol
