Hi Mike, I am starting to get brave about options, picked up "Options As a Strategic Investment" by Lawrence G. McMillan at the library. Boy, is it heavy, thick, lots of big words and not enough pictures.<g> Maybe I should start with "Options for Dummies"? I looked for that but I couldn't find it.<g>

One thing that I was curious about, I accidentally punched in the wrong stock symbol on Yahoo, and got WMI, Waste Management, and noticed that the short ratio was 12.34. Is this high? I looked at a number of other stocks but did not see one as high. Also, if it is high, what would explain it? (Compare to Allied Waste, AWIN, short ratio = 1.5).
