Chris, You should not have that sort of argument with anyone licensed to deal in stock options. I wonder who he got to take the test for him? <G>

Seriously, I have had this problem through my investing career. I remember one guy from the State of California who looked at me like a crook and told me, "young man (I was 22 years younger then), I have invested for many years. And no matter how you try to confuse the issue with your jargon, I know that any time you sell something short, you have unlimited risk."

When I tried to show him, again, that shorting a put had a risk limited to the stock going to zero, he wasn't interested. He had his story and he was sticking to it. It didn't matter that he was totally wrong. <G>
