Thanks for the comeback. It's not that I'm fearful. There is noting to fear but fear itself (and the margin call boogie man). Exxon and the other 7 sisters are working diligently in conjunction with dermatologists to harness those hyperactive sebaceous glands in search for a new source of oil. In the meantime, I'm checking to see if it is worthwile to lower my strike prices on the spetember calls I sold brcm, sept 250's, Cree, sept 140's JDSU, sept 140's JNPR, sept 200's. Bought back my calls on RMBS (sold at 5 bought back at 1/8). QCOM, sill holding leaps on the 85's, the 120's and 135's. I'm embarassed to admit what I bought them at. Best regards, David
