Mike, I like IP a little bit, though I like GP and WY more, and absolutely love SFE again, for the first time in two years. I haven't looked closely at the others. IRA is why I do buy writes, too. It is amazing how the laws protect those who make their money on commissions and spreads. <g> Whether or not I look at the sector depends on the issue. For example, I would definitely look at Paper and Forest Products when thinking about IP, but with SFE, I don't think the nearest competitors, CMGI and ICGE have much relevance and certainly don't have SFE's long record of success.
