George XMSR: I can wait for the gap at 8ish. After the Xmas excitment is over with....... Sorry for not getting back to you on the nano plays. CALP is the best of the bunch, but I know NANX better. Thanks for the workups. Problem with CALP is our old friend, volume. Was just reading the new copy of Worth. Interesting article about SSF's (Single Stock Futures) that will be offered in Mar. 02. They are supposed to be released Dec. 21, but the regulators have asked for the Mar. date to hammer out some kinks. From what I can gather they will be a margin transaction and will mirror an individual stock, but only require 20% of the purchase price of the underlying stock. If the stock moves up 20% and you have bought that future price then you are in the chips, so long as it is before the contract expiration. If it moves down, then you are toast and lose the entire position. This could be a good hedge against a long position. Buy the stock long and sell the future. If the stock goes down then the future will take up the slack. Good thing that I see about this is that if the stock goes up then you have no chance of losing the stock as in a covered call trade. hmmmm Ken
