reunless you have a strong desire to own,perhaps another stock? Exactly what I decided too. I looked at the different premiums for LU and then thought about the fact that I sold all my long term LU a while back because I no longer believe in their dominance (though it's obviously a fine company.) So I sold puts for GMST instead: it's part of my core portfolio and owning more at lower prices is just fine with me. Of course it would raise my delightfully low base price but that's the risk you take. I have recently purchased the "vector vest" monthly program, with software. The black-scholes is in it. I need to study that; it looks complicated but mighty thorough. Also once I have it up and running it will show dollar for dollar what an option I am interested in will go up or down for an up or down movement in the stock. Freeus
