ZX, Yep, she's been a good one. But I am out and in cash now. I just don't like all the underlying problems that are cropping up with regularity. Ole' etrade, I had them by the short hairs on one crappy trade and I let it go. After that it seemed that I caused every problem. Felt like there was a black ball marking my account. What pissed me off the most was the attitude that I was some hick that had no idea of what the markets are or how to trade. Worse yet, what I should expect from a company. Another was the long waits on the phone, minimum of 30 min every time. I'm just glad to be rid of them, though every month they send me statements of my three empty accounts. My brother thinks their great and they stopped him from selling covered calls. So I have to say praise about them there. I told the dumb s++t, that if he felt like shorting options again, I could come over and beat him with a rubber hose and his stock would still be in his account. I have lost plenty of money being on the zero side of an option trade. Right now I’m long in Apr. puts expiring tomorrow . Hope the week was good to you. Ward
