A while ago, a friend of mine said to me : "... any trader that understands the fundamentals of a company, knows way too much to be a successful trader with that company's stock...". I tend to agree with that opinion. cheers, kumar

I couldn't agree with you more, tf. Most of the disagreements are based on differences in investment windows. >> They feel that big money can be made by calling those trends: in a range bound market how else can you do it? By recognizing the upper boundary, and selling covered calls when it is approached. In this way you can realize a revenue stream while retaining long term positions in great companies. The current bid price for ntap March expiry 40 strike price calls is $5, which is 13% of the value of the underlying common. If I felt ntap was at a peak (which I don't!), I would be selling those calls against my holdings. uf
