Gopher,

Re: <Selling was probably the wisest thing for you to do.>

Yes, I think that would be true were I not a complete dunderhead. As per all my posts the last two weeks, I believe CREAF is headed towards the cellar until after the 'quiet period' ending with the post earnings conference call. I'm just too stupid for words (but I'll try anyway): I was just reviewing my account and to my surprise, I still have all the Jan 17.5 calls I thought I sold yesterday! Apparently, while managing to profitably sell two series of INTC 110 calls, a bunch of FAST May calls, and one series of FDC calls, I screwed up my order for the CREAF. I put in a limit order (at $1) instead of the market order I wanted. Of course, this series went nowhere and is now at 9/16 (bid).

I'm telling my wife this screw-up is the fault of my track ball- yes, that's it- its Logitech's fault that I lost half my money in one day....

Tell me in more detail please what I might hope for after Friday? Also, was it the scarecrow or the tinman who sang "If I only had a brain?"
