John - Thanks - as always, I heed edamo's advice - don't sell puts on an issue you would not want to own, at the strike. Some would say "strike less premium" but since I usually sell the puts to finance some other adventure, I don't consider the value of the premium when looking at my exposure. I'm not too unhappy having the stock put to me, I doubt if I will lose money on those 2 issues, but I usually carry no margin debt so I am a little uncomfortable suddenly being over 20%... also my position in INTC and CSCO doubled. Both bounced back quite a bit today. More than I can say for MSFT, DELL, CIEN... so I'm still sitting it out. Some very tempting buys at the moment but I'm too old to put more of my capital at risk. May put my toe in with some call buys if something gets really silly.
