Hi Lucky, You can call me anything you want as long as it doesn't mean anything bad, slimey, scuzzy, or puss filled and is not related to a persons posterior. I reserve those names for my lovely wife to use when I occasionally push her past her breaking point (like the time I walked into the house after playing tackle football in the mud with my 3 year old and 4 year old sons after putting them in their new outfits that my dear mother-in-law <said with most sarcastic voice> had given them and who also happened to be on her way over to visit, and I quickly responded to my wife's yelling by saying, "Oh, lighten up"...). Thanks for the Fidelity info. I just got my approval for selling covered calls today. This is a SEP-IRA account so I'm not sure how many various types of options trading they will allow me to do. I believe that I can only write covered calls with this account. I've got a newbie question for you. In addition to selling covered there is an choice listed in the Actions Menu as "Buy To Close". Does this mean I can only buy calls to close an "Existing" position of covered calls that I had written earlier? Or can I actually buy calls? My regular (non-IRA) account is with Datek. They claim to be starting options trading in April sometime. Instead of transferring my funds elsewhere I may wait it out. I wonder if it may be a good idea to beef up my options trading experience when filling out that application... Thanks again. -MuddyWatersGuitar
