Hi Bob, Please do not shot me just because the story is not perfectly told and is in a book about daytraders. First, the shooting isn't my job, we contract it out to uncwest. But second, don't worry, many of us have been through the journalistic wringer in a similar way, so we do not hold you in any way responsible. I figured that what had happened was something just like what you described, and I'm sure the errors are all the author's fault and not yours. It was great to see the thread's name in print, and with links provided to SI and even EricksList, anybody who actually wants to dig deeper will figure out the truth pretty quick. best regards back, and good luck in this obscene market, tekboy/Ares@consumerofalldeadtreecrapeverwritten.com PS re the SEBL reference, do you think it's possible he mixed up SEBL and CTXS? I mean, both were classic Merlin picks...

>> Best one imo is called "Stocks for Options Trading" by Harvey C. Friedentag. Thanks for the recommendation, Bob. I've ordered a copy for my friend plus one for my library. Since my covered call approach is "self taught", I'm sure I'll get a lot out of the book even though it's touted for beginners. >> We currently ARE in a bear market. I'd agree, if I were only looking at the nasdaq, but the broader s&p index seems to belie that conclusion. Don't you think it might best be described as a massive rotation out of tech? cchart.yimg.com^ixic,^spc >> Please do not shot <sic> me just because the story is not perfectly told and is in a book about daytraders. Since you didn't know it was a daytraders' book, we'll give you a pass, but if you do it again you'll be summarily executed <lol>. Is the book available yet, and did they take any direct quotes from the g&k thread? uf
