Hi Virgil, I noticed that too on the ITM list. I don't use covercalls.com a lot to pick positions, but I do check it from time to time. Hope they don't get rid of the whole thing. Your 250% gains for the year are impressive, especially in view of the long periods you have to spend away, so of course we are interested in your ideas. Maybe being away was an advantage this last month. A lot of stocks have pushed a lot deeper than I expected, and many signs of a potential bottom keep failing. Good reason to be bearish at this point. Dan

Hello Virgil and Everyone Else! You have remarkable instincts for the stock market Virgil. I recall when you announced your bearish mood the last time when everyone was thinking up, up, up! WOW! There have been some down outright haircuts in those tech stocks once again. History repeats itself over and over. As a sidenote, this month in the coveredcalls.com newsletter I'm doing a follow-up to one of my topics last month on MSFT which is approaching the next bottom support level of $50. There is a good chance for some kind of dead- cat technical bounce upward. A reader emailed me a month ago asking how and why MSFT was appearing on our LEAPs Bear PUTs reports. One of the technical reasons I gave over a month ago after reading the charts was" "You can see in the chart below where I underlined in red the low RSI readings in the past 4 years for MSFT which appears to be a solid 30 RSI. The current MSFT reading is about +40 RSI. Meaning? MSFT sure can go down in price beyond the current $70+ price! The +40 RSI tells me that the bottom for MSFT can go lower than the current RSI trend and a declining stock price of $70.00. So, you see I'm using the RSI and charting as a doctor uses an x-ray to see the big picture. It would take some major good news to pull MSFT out of this decline. And, with the pending court case outcomes, you can see how the fundamentals are being played out in our technicals as being presented here for you." stockcharts.com[L,A]WALLYYMY[PC20!D20,2!F][VC60][IUB14!LG] I had another fellow who could not believe AAPL was on the LEAPs Bear Put list when AAPL was at around $68 in early September. Today, it's around the low 20s. stockcharts.com[L,A]WALLYYMY[PC20!D20,2!F][VC60][IUB14!LG] MedVed Stock Quote Tracker By the way, Virgil.
