Setting stops is a bitch, Rick . . . . especially when a volatile stock has a progressively lowering "trading range." I violated Rick's private rule on holding options: DON'T LEAVE THE COUNTRY. And definitely don't go to an incommunicado country like Cuba while holding them. hehehe. When I was there, jdsu bolted to 140. How special was that? Since then it's just been a slowly dropping buzzsaw. Sort of like the old Qualcomm. What a drag. The bottom line is that options are not for newbies like me, Rick. I don't have enough experience to follow my own insights. Take care, john
