Whew. I live in fear of being capped when the big move finally happens :-).

Yep, same here, but as I recall you wound up writing Qcom April 40s on all your holdings?? That right? Ouch.

I wrote the Ntap April 20s and the Sebl 35s each on about half our holdings. Not too happy at the moment but I'm holding. Pulled the McMillan off the shelf last night to check out the strategies.

I still agree with your observation of no big move soon. Lots of ups and downs and some of them large enough to feel like something more. But, and this is key for me, if I get called out, good opportunities to pick the shares back up without too big a loss, perhaps even lower than the price at which they were called out.

Learning.

EDIT: I have a few QCOM Mar 40's hanging out there. Sold them at a modest 0.90 a couple of weeks ago -- what the heck, a few hundred dollars is a few hundred dollars. Don't really care if I get called or not. And yep, I too hated that sinking sensation of watching the run-up last week from the sidelines. It goes with the turf though. Short on Comrades.
