rocketman....great post...

why? because you've proved the very point that some have attempted to make concerning this thread. i refer to "qcom 2000 in 2000" as it was commonly posted on the g+k and qcom threads......and uf attempted to balance as you state...but perhaps not concur.....uf got involved in our discussion on a personal level, not a substance level...so why not use a statement to draw out the truth.

the "monitoring" on this thread tends to concur with many things that are not valid.....remember "taxman"....a valued contributor..but he was one sided, only bought calls/puts, and if you recently followed his "never saw a call premium that i didn't like strategy" without fully understanding you would lose big time...people think i only sell puts...but when was the last time i mentioned put selling???? in fact our discussion was my defense of buying dim calls...

there is a time and place for every strategy...the "mother hens" have not lived through a full market cycle...so best listen instead of constantly validating their inexperienced opinions....it's about real people and real money....

late yesterday afternoon my posts were to answer option queries...i return this morning to see the chuckleheads continuing with the noise and dragging me back into it...

i guess if you have nothing of substance to say, you just make noise or throw out juvenile one liners...

Rocketman, after you stood back for a moment, you've come back with some terrific posts. I gain a great deal when I read posts like your current dialogue with Ed.

I've learned a great deal from him over the past 2 years and it mostly comes from observing while he has solid engagements with a person like you that is willing to overlook style and search for the nugget.

Thanks, you're making a great contribution to the thread.

Tom
