Jack: Thanks. Thought options were not permitted in IRA accounts but now understand that "writing" calls are permitted in IRA accounts as are LEAPS, is that so? In any event, don't think tax considerations should be paramount. My main reason for suggesting re trying to time the Q - "don't" - was the difficulty of timing the new entry back into the Q at a lower price than you sold - particularly if the stock starts moving up rapidly and strongly - as it may (or may not of course.) Appreciate your making clear that my statement on taxes does not apply to IRA accounts. Thanks again. Cha2
