Ditto on the April QCOM 40's. A dime yesterday was too much. Today, it is absurd.

And since the stock's at the same level it was when I sold the calls at the beginning of March, the return is truly money for nothing. I think that's the way this cc business is supposed to work :-). I think that the way it goes is, "Money for nothing, and your chicks for free". So, sounds like you got it half right! :) DrId@myportfolioisindirestraits.com

I think that's the way this cc business is supposed to work :-). Sounds right to me. Since I bought mine back for $.20, your guts got you the extra. I'm not yet certain enough about my market forecasting skills. So I'll take my lesser amount and my shares and live to fight another day. Jeez, where did that last line came from; just popped out of my keyboard. I'm clearly spending too much time on the FADG. (Now I need a gnarled facial emoticon here. Got any handy?)
