Got started last year with stock options. In one account made up the majority of my losses. Did some covered calling and had some lucky timing on a couple of stocks. Been readin a book by MacMillan. Been wanting to do some spreads, but my discounter doesn't allow that as he would consider that a "naked" sale, even though I explained it to him. Probably need to get another broker -- just haven't gotten around to it.

I was looking for a consumer, big cap to short fri. Shorted some CLX. What's your technical read on that one? Seemed like a rather safe bet to participate in the decline of the DOW if it happens. More risky, I guess than shorting SPY and ties up more money than an options play but my calls there haven't been so hot.

I'm wanting to get set up at home with one of the mathematical packages and a "feed" to historical data so I can pursue some learning of TA and some other ideas I have for modeling.

Bought some EWM on Monday as it looked like a classic V-bottom. Probably should have taken my gain Friday, but it allowed me to average down good. Wish I'd bought twice as much and sold half on Friday. I just "knew" it was going to be a near term bottom when I looked at the chart.

When I have time I'm going to try to figiure out your technique. Lately, I've been pretty busy with my day job.
