The main thing about a getting into a new approach is the willingness to take a small loss and not just let it ride and turns into a bigger one. You have done very well.

Just like today I played a dangerous game of shorting RMBS at 115 1/4 due to 2 gaps that need to be filled. I covered the position before the close for a meager 1 point gain. I don't want to hold a short position in a stock like RMBS. Well RMBS is up after hours!!

JDB must be laughing at me. VBG.

Tom,

How are you doing these days?

Still focused on the short put as bread and butter?

I have been writing OTM calls for the last several months almost exclusively. It has been quite profitable, due to the tremendous leverage.

Regards,

Dave
