I would like to add to the two previous posts, I am a monkey see, monkey do kind of person when I do not understand something and I DO NOT understand options. My questions are these: 1. I am away from my office a lot and in court away from a phone.......the Federal Court does not allow phones to be brought into them thanks to Oklahoma City bombings and other reasons. Do you need to be near a phone to make moves at a moments notice? 2. If a stock like Qcom becomes a quick mover, as in a big news announcement, can you get in big trouble if you are out of pocket(say in trial) for a few days. In the past you have alluded to big announcements in the future such as Nokia and AT&T, etc. etc. I personally think that the CTIA conference in New Orleans Feb 28-Mar 1 will open some eyes to the future of wireless. I was going to go but have to meet with a surgeon for my surgery (nothing major, just an old sports injury). 3. I am sure you will address this, but what are the upsides and down sides as in percentages of success vs failure. Thanking you for your time and energy in advance, JA (Voodoo Moonie in Options Training)

Yep. It's O damn K to admit that, as individuals, certain notions and concepts do not come easy and/or natural. We all possess different levels of ability, talent and so-forth. Culture and life experience is a factor, also. My teenage son, for instance, is a math and language whiz but just could not seem to grab hold and comprehend the relationship between driving too fast and getting speeding tickets. It was just too abstract a concept for him until I put a "For Sale" sign on the window of his car one morning. Lo and behold the light in his brain came on. We had clarity. We had lift-off. We had understanding. Alias
