Hey, are you becoming a "trader?" Only when given the time. <g> Things usually don't work out where I'm free to watch this stuff so closely. When I can I trade calls and puts to maximize the volatility and turns. I try to stay in ITM or at least ATM. OTM tends to beat me more often than I win... Otherwise I usually buy stocks for swing trades or something in a little bit bigger of a time frame than just a day or two. These need less baby sitting. All of this is to help distract me from looking to closely at some of my longer term holds.<g> If the market is up again this morning I may try to buy a few more puts for a temporary pull back. -Clapper
