Dan, did you do anything with Disney? I got in last friday (15th) at 24 1/4. It is performing pretty much as hoped; that is, a bounce off of the lower BB. It closed above 26 today. It's going to be coming up to meet the upper BB pretty soon (it was in a fairly narrow band) and if the RSI moves up to confirm I'll be writing calls. I don't think I'm going to write in the money calls though just in case it keeps moving up. I think many of the old line retailers who have been moving into the internet haven't been given the same consideration as those vendors who are internet only. I think Disney is definitely one of those who, after further review by the market, may see some upside due to the e-exposure. I wonder if go.com will become a spin off anytime soon. Also, Disney went to an annual dividend starting this year. Last year was paid in November, so I'm guessing a full years worth of dividend should be paid soon...no announcement but I would think it has to be coming. Disney runs a DRIP program for their stock so I don't think they would piss all those investors off by not declaring a dividend this year. It's not much (.21 per share last year) but, will at least cover my commissions and then some to buy and sell the stock. take care, mc
