<<< I'm going to go back to watching and plotting.>>> It seems almost impossible to do anything right today so I have to sit and watch also with minimum invested. Never liked trading either. Hate to talk bearish buts that what I see. Two things can help, another rate cut by the Fed and also when Mr Bushes people get in and see the economic figures thru new eyes, I hope Legislature will cut taxes ASAP even if the first one is only an interim part of the bigger plan. I think the Fed paid too much attention to the Dow, which isn't so bad, and not enough to the NAS where the drop can really hurt government tax income. Sig

I followed suit and dumped my QQQ. I'm going to take a breather with handsome gains since new year. It's necessary since I felt losing touch with the market over the weekend. I don't want to lose control over my action before too late...like Fed did <g>. No shorts, no longs at present except 10 Jan MO calls with strike at 42.5 bought last Friday. It's the first time I ever played options. Just wanted to try my hand in Options. The calls was cheap. Unfortunately, it's still cheap as of now, even as the stock rises more than 2 and almost to the strike price. Anybody has any clue why? And what should I do with my calls? Thanks in advance. W
