My god, William, were you short calls when Q had it's 55 point day?

No. The options expired on the 16th. My stock was called on the 15th. Think it was the 150 strike. Thursday range was 140 to 167. Friday was 142.50 to 162.375. My repurchase market order was filled at 145. Monday it fell to 124.125 closed 124.625. Tuesday range 123 to 142.75 and Wed range 171 to 197. Talk about emotional days. Have only done russian army since then, no covered calls. But that is why I said don't stay out long or try to time it. Don't know if I would have bought back in at 197 which we know is 98.5 for todays 173. But that 145 is now a two bagger lookin' for 20.

Frank,
Chart comparisons. Do you know if its possible to compare a stock to an index like the DJIA, S&P 500 using SI? I have tried various symbols but to no avail. Stock to stock comparison works well. I would like to compare to the S&P 500, I have used QQQ which is the index that trades like a stock on the AMEX but I would rather use the index.
Cosmo
