Wells Fargo Bank just cold called me to offer my business a $100,000 line of credit. I said "no thanks," but it doesn't strike me as the kind of activity that occurs in a shrinking economy.

Thanks for the reply. My main concern is preservation of capital. To that end, I've set up an Excel spreadsheet where I can load in the trade details, and calculate the expected return, and track the trade as it progesses as expiration nears. And, I can enter in the current price and have the returns calculated on the fly. And, I've set it up to highlight a losing trade in red, so I can be alerted to those trades that might require attention. (None of this is earth shattering, but it's making management of the portofolio easier.) Adairm
