>> If you are investing heavily in options that expire within the same month that you buy them, I wonder why you would care about gorillas at all. I'll be happy to answer your question, John, but permit me to rearrange it a bit. If you care about gorillas, why you are investing heavily in options that expire within the same month that you buy them. 98% of my portfolio is invested in Gorilla and Kings selected from the Gorilla&King Index (GKI). I believe that group of companies represent the lowest risk-to-reward ratio long term investments that I can find. The other 2% is used to generate income, my paycheck as the family portfolio manager. I generated a 1100% return on short term speculation last year, and have realized 64% ytd. It's not my preferred approach; I just do it for the money <gg>. >> How did WIND and GMST compare for April, or for March and April combined? The numbers are available through the SI historical quotes. It's a moot point as far as I'm concerned. I only compared gmst and wind for March in response to your comment. Their relative historical stock performance has no bearing on my decision to invest in one and not the other. You're a fine advocate for wind, John, and I expect it's one of your major holdings. I haven't done very much dd on wind, but I respect the fact that you have and that you hold it in such high esteem. uf
