>>3% stop loss<<

For myself I would consider that a pretty tight band. CSCO can move that much on any given day, and usually does. It would be my preference to buy a stock between two option strike prices. Example ... CSCO has option strike prices at 17 1/2 and 20, so a good entry point would be 18.50 to 18.70. If the stock rises I have a choice to either sell out or write the 20's . If the stock falls I can write the 17 1/2's or the 20's for the curent month, depending on the outlook.Lots of ways to make a buck, but like fishing a little patience is required.

Regards, Jerome

You're going to lose all your admirers if you call them names.<vbg>
