>>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.<< Welcome, dustman, may you live long and prosper! Jim

Dustcatcher, Loved your note! Have been trying to get my husband interested in being an active investor for the past year or so. (He buys blue chips and mutual funds,holds them for years and has no idea what they are doing.)Printed out some of V's messages this past weekend and wouldn't let him do anything else until he read them,and tonight he's reading an options book even as I type. Thanks Volt! When I got home I told him about your post. He laughed. We've never traded options either, but with help from the board, are going to try to figure it all out. Thank all of you for great Q&A that helps me figure it out. Good investing. Seahorse

dustcatcher! Welcome to the porch! Gosh you don't have to dress up to come around here. Take off your coat, loosen that tie, sit down and have a drink. Glad you thought enough of the porch to sign on as a friend for life. Age ain't nothing around here. Sure we gotta couple of whipper snappers that get around a little better than some, but who's counting. Betcha just full of wisdom. Can't get too much of that around here. VOLTAIRE! Did ya get a chance to meet dustcatcher? Mighty nice man he is. Again Welcome! We are mighty proud to have ya! dealer, Underpaid reporter Unpaid Maid Underpaid Treasurer
