Paul: Re: "Then why don't you explain how you lost money on your February options - in the midst of this fantastic AMD stock price run up ?" Comment: I bought some options with less than 30 days to expiry with a small portion of my Jan. option profits...As I have mentioned, I do try to stay away from options expiring in less than 30 days...but sometimes, as on Friday when AMD was off $7.00 at $51, I just couldn't restrain myself once again from purchasing March 50's...Maybe I'll be right on these short term (i.e less than 30 days to expiry date) options and hopefully right enough to more than offset Feb's closing day loss...With options Paul my primary objective is to be right more times than wrong and let your winners run...If one catches options running in the right direction and hangs on for the ride, it offsets many, many Feb-type decisions...Y2000 personal ROI is the goal Paul, and that is determined by overall performance...So far, Y2000 ROI looks real fine!
