mmm agreed, but ...that's why i went for september. i'm going to be gone a lot of april. GE is the place to be ! you sure picked that one right ! the news on GE the last week has been extremely positive. so i'm going to see if i can hold this time until the options split, and then carry forward an option. i bought back 500 shares of my DMTHF, in the 10s and 11s. had sold some in the 12s. the range is the 9s to the 14s. i put an order to buy some in the 9s on it today, i put a limit in 20 cents above the ask, and the market makers would not fill it. they knew the stock was going back up. the downside was that i had to sac my WMT and PVN calls today. sold my WMT option with the stock at 58.5. took a loss on the PVN call...will try to buy it back lower as we approach the middle of april. in fact, i originally doubled up on the call earlier today at 11.75, but when GE broke, i sold both the calls for 11.75 and rebought in september. the risky LNXWF broke through 4 today. and the MCK went up 3/16ths, continuing the breakout. all 3 of the internet security companys i have got hit hard. those are all long term holdings ... VRSN, CHKP, and CIC.to . all great companies, all with big p/e ratios. will buy more of those when DMTHF goes back up. DMTHF is a great buy at these levels. it's my bank. back up to 12.9 k shares...i'd gotten down to 12.4 k shares. they'll go up c ya, jeffS

From a lurker, with the Naz droping as it has , is anyone concerned about the margin calls coming in and driving the Naz down further ?

yes, i could have picked up the GE call much cheaper today. but this is why i picked GE (after you said you were in it and i looked at the chart)...i was watching it around 3:30 and it dropped to 157.5 . then boom, it was right back up to 160.5 . there's demand for GE stock and i think it built a little base in the high 150s. my DMTHF actually went into the 8s, i can't believe it. this is an easy double on the next news announcement, which could happen any day. that's why i also went from owning 3 options back to 1...flight to safety. c ya, jeffS
