Voltaire, Jill, Poet, Dealer, et al.: I first purchased stock in 1953. I first purchased QCOM stock in 1996 (and several times since then). Thanks to you and others, on Monday I sold my first covered calls (in QCOM for strike prices of 155 and 160 and in LWIN, strike price of 90--all April calls). I thank all of you very much. These ccs were for my SEP-IRA account so there are no current tax consequences. Further, I didn't take all your advice and sold calls only on less than 10% of my holdings. My wife is against all this activity because, to her, it smacks of "something for nothing" and she doesn't believe in such things. Another consequence of your advice on this board is that I became a life member of SI (not a good choice at my age of 72, I guess) just so I could join in a bit. 'Nuf for now. ---Jack---

RE: Beano Family. I've bean thinkin' 'bout this Beano family thing and came up with some important tidbits of information that I thought I'd share with all the Porchers. Here it is: If Jill had married one of the Beano's. She would be known as a Jilly Beano. (As in those little candy things you see around Easter time.) amazin' ain't it... It gets better... If Uncle Frank's middle name was Nicholas AND his father had the last name of Beano, He might be known as Franks N. Beanos. and another thing... Somehow PolvoBeano already sounds like a spanish bean dish. Doesn't it? As in "Please pass the Jalopenos. I want to mix them in with my Polvobeanos." Just a thought... -ClaptonsSix-StringBeano HeeHaw!
