Hi voop, I have said this many times, when it comes to options, I don't want to hear about taxes. I increase my leverage a hundred percent and taxes could be forty. Trust me my clients had made so many bad investments before they got with me, that is the least of their worry, me personally, give me my leverage and I'll kill Uncle Sam, IF AND PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS, IF and only IF I have a stock I believe will perform like QCOM. You are also forgetting about my second type of Income, psychological, I am getting plenty of that, what is a good night sleep worth. I personally think call buying is generally one of the worst investment vehicles employed by the average investor. I have used them on only four stocks in the last two years, BCST, AOL, RNWK and now QCOM. in closing let me just say, the reason an individual employs options in the first place is leverage, people either should believe in their stock or don't play calls but if you do then play the hell out of them.
