Re: Option Mentor Petz, I was screening stock option books the last few weeks in all libraries in my area. I ended up with right one: "Stochastic Processes - From Physics to Finance, by Wolfgang Paul and J”rg Baschnagel (from the Institute of Physics from the Johannes-Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany": good enough to understand, that I will never ever understand this level of math. Thank you for posting the link. I will try it as soon as I have an account. Manfred

RE: Good option strategy evaluator/selector at thomsonrtq.com The full URL is thomsoninvest.net. You don't have to register. I tried it out and it seems to ignore the fact that when you write covered calls the shares you use to cover can be taken away from you. For example if I put in a target price for AMD as 150 in 6 months (it doesn't look at LEAPS), then it suggest that I should sell a covered call at 100, 110 or 120. Yes you get money for selling the call and you get more if the shares are bought at 100-120 but the total for both is less then the value of the shares if you just sit on them until you sell at 150.
