Al...if you bought Naz puts, you did well indeed...congrats! Which options do you trade? (symbols) As for accounts, I trade in IRAs, Roths and regular accounts. The way I handle the CG's is I give Uncle Sugar his share and consider it a cost of doing business. I am trying to get the discipline to hold for more LT CG's to minimize the IRS rip-off, but have had limited success. The Roths have been godsends, although I wish I had bitten the bullet and moved more over in the fall of '98. I moved more in '99, but still racked up far too much profits in the standard IRAs (now THERE is a rip -- even if you hold LT, in the 401K or IRA, you get to pay full tax rate). Gotta unload the last of the standard IRAs -- fast. Good luck tomorrow -- may your Naz puts soar! (And may my bargain hunting succeed well -- CYMI LTXX TXCC VTSS CAMP and LSI, primarily) tso tso
