... i have a strongly held view.... Taxman, I respect your view. I also have a strongly held view that the way to make money is selling PUTs. Obviously our views are a reflection of our make up and our tolerance for different types of risks. That's healthy because we can learn from our differences. I find it helpful when you talk about your strategy or when you ask honest questions of others. I learn things and it broadens me. I don't find it helpful when you imply that your's is the only way to go or when you tend to discount someone's honest response. Let's just try to learn from each other. Thanks, Tom

taxman outof curiosity i went to value line on the web. do you use them on the web, or do you get a print version? Here's the url for their sample spreadsheet on options: valueline.com do you use that? or do you just go through their stock recs and pick puts or calls based on that? I know Poet switched some funds to WS Access and they've got some kind of option calculator that tells you the best one to buy at a given time. I'm not sure whether all this high techi s too high tech for me--I hate spreadsheets
