Hey Bones... <it will be a HUGE psychological paradigm shift for me to shut down this business. I would be a fool to walk away from it now, I feel .. it's GUARANTEED income that in fact, pays all my bills.> I might suggest that you put together a paper covered call portfolio, just to see what it can do for you. Track it for a few months. It is a pretty amazing cash generator. I am in the same boat as you, as far as having a thriving business, that it would appear to be nuts to walk away from. And I probably won't completely, because I enjoy what I do, but I will cherry pick, and only take the jobs I want when I want. I'm going to get the feel of it by taking 3 months off starting Nov. 1. I am fairly sure I will actually make more by cutting back some. Enjoying that Texas heat? Take care, Bones. Scott

Hi B, That's it, kick the House's ass. So far I have only been able to get the Jan 115's on RMBS - BUJAC. I see about $125 to $135 on NTAP before earnings in Aug. We should see about a 50% upswing on the NAZ from here by close. V

Hi Bonnie - Sounds like you've got a great plan going. Sorry I've not written you sooner - busy with my girl most of the time - I'm about Barbie'd out! Anyway, it was kind of funny we both had the WNLABS and Rambus huh? If you tell me you've got Lucent leaps too - this would be too weird. I bought the Intel leaps last year, and meant to buy the put leaps too, as a hedge, but did not do it. Worked out excellent anyway, as we both know. I saw Intel beat estimates and had a bunch of upgrades this morning, targets around $175.00. I bought some Intel for my daughter a few years ago - it won't be touched unless I add more to it. College $ you know. Gotta run - just wanted to say Hi! Legs
