Tito, Your posts have taught me a great deal. My short term trading has some shades of Your Yo-Yo Plays and I have benefited much financially. I have been away for couple days. Today I bought my calls back. anqfk-wrote for 4.10 baught back 2:20 (profit 1.90) in 3 days, nlqfk-wrote for 5.10 bought for 2.35 (profit 2.75) in 3 days. This was second round of covered calls. Current position: Account A:(trading) 100% cash, Account B:(used for covered calls and longer term trading) 25%NVLS, 25%AMAT, 50% cash (looking to get in mxim, lltc, amat, nvls) Monday I sold some naked calls on mxim june 55 for 5.10 and bought back today for 3.00. (Account A trading) I enjoy your posts. kdavy

AMAT YoYo Demo Update Bought 1 Call Oct 50 @ 9.60 (Ref: AMAT @ 52.30) Cost: $987 including commissions. Just to prove one need not put a lot of money in AMAT to gain a lot. To Others, 900 or even 5,000 dollar Investments are laughable, but to me it's not. It even cost me a lot of money (as "confessed" by me in the Post above) when I left half million in one account that turned into 78 dollars! It caused a lot of anguish in my heart even if my capital was only 10,000 that became 2,000 at the bottom in 1998 that became 1 M at the Top. Now my saying is "Why invest Hundreds of thousands if I can do better with 2,000 more or less? Of course AMAT's feat of becoming 230 (115 post split) from 22 will not be repeated this time because AMAT is sluggish nowadays--- the kind of Waltz he is dancing now is slow music like "Mama" being sung by Connie Francis.
