Oh, I wasn't aware that from-the-womb trading was available in 1973. <ggg> It's nice to see people being honest about their trading. Always makes me feel better. My confession du jour: I sold BRCM May 165 puts a week or two ago (just before it fell from 170's to 140's) at $6. I did a little "repair" by adding to the position, thus plumping up the premium I received) last week. Now I'm sitting with 30 of these contracts, nervously watching BRCM's every move. I just "bought to close" half the position at the price I sold them, so when I'm put next week, I'll "only" be put 1500 shares at $157 each...
