Re: call/put ratio, it's just normal for a stock trending strongly upward to have much more OI on the calls. A nice gain is far more likely to be realized to buy calls on the dips than to buy puts on the upticks. If you buy puts on a stock trending up you can easily lose your investment as it could jump out of its recent pattern and shoot higher.

I keep changing my mind on when to sell mine. Still holding on a hunch there will be a push into the low 50s before falling back to upper 40s before the next expiration.

Great month overall wasn't it? Man, it's nice to have a margin account in a month like the one we just had. The stuff I buy goes up and the stuff I sell goes up even more. So I stopped selling and kept on buying.

See ya,

Phil
