Thanks for the good ideas and kind words Deal. I wish I could say my performance lately was fabulous - it was not. Lots of stupid mistakes. but always learning. Let's just hope I am a fast study. I am messing with one potential bk right now and will suffer a bit if it goes down but cannot get myself off fence. I know in my bones bk is coming, and a big coupon is due in next few weeks and yet I am having hard time taking final bit of loss. Positions are a mess with tons of just OTM and way OTM long term and short term short calls, a modest sized ITM short puts position, half offset with longer dated long puts of same strike. Company announced hiring of advisor and market was confused. I think it means filing inside of 2012, probably before coupons. This would have killed me in past and stock's collapse in recent weeks has hurt badly. I could have taken quick losses 3-4 weeks back and had minor profits but I tried to hang on stupidly even as gut was screaming to get out.

I will have flavor on both accounts after year end as I am in full not wanting to jinx myself mode.
