O/T Diamond H... it's your story - I'll let you tell it. I'll keep it short. Pleeeeease; at the time of your dubious opine - there were not any CXIPY puts traded. The only reason you are now claiming a 15% instead of a 25% profit is I pointed out your error to you in your % claim concerning the ''loss percentage'' on the common stock vs. the possible % profit in the options - so you claimed the only options traded as ''yours'' and then corrected your erroneous profit % claims...uh huh...pretty damn obvious to all. Why did you trade the October Puts versus the Septembers if you were ''daytrading'' options ? Factoring in the Commission cost of options - awfully expensive for daytrading - if you made $100 per option (allegedly) but paid $40-$60 in commissions - it kind of cut into your profit % didn't it ? Hey; did you buy them all at once Diamond or did you buy through the day, because there is not just a timeline to refute your claims, but a trade by trade log that may as well... Also; most importantly here - and I will rest my case in the public electronic prosecution of your Internet credibility on this one: Aren't you the guy who just hours ago said this - in response to my post on options ? ******************************************************************************** Diamond H Friday, Aug 21 1998 8:36PM ET Reply # of 28331 >>My last hurrah will be some final Option plays when Oil clearly establishes itself above $15... then I will only have to sit back and watch...<< Suicide. Do have any idea how much money you can lose on options? This is an addicted gambler's last hope. When that hope is finally taken away, and it will be, a personal bottom is reached and some kind of life style recovery is possible. But one must recognize the problem>> ******************************************************************************* Are we to believe that the ''Sugar Plumb Fairy'' of the oil patch grew a set of balls and actually ventured into the ''addicted gamblers last hope, the suicidal tool'' called options ? - after that post --- yeah, sure...you bought some puts....sure you did Pinocchio ! Go back to fantasyland - where Giappetto can pull your strings and you ''short traders'' can continue to pull each others ''strings'' - on how you're shorting DELL or CXIPY or what ever else is the short D'Jour in fantasyland...
