Thanks Greg: I have enough difficulty keeping track of what I own, or why I bought it. These bull-put spreads and so on are just barely within my understanding, without having to keep track of those also. Most of those are used to "reduce the risk" which implies investing is risky, which it is of course. Complicated systems are for horse-players who cant make it on straight bets , but are convinced if they only get the right system they can win anyway. So we have to take a chance regardless, in which case I say go for it, but just pick the right stock and bet to win, not to show. Or here in the market we can even bet to lose and make money with puts. With a 14 month high on the Nikkei, people are liable to think we are in a true recovery phase(g) Every day somebody.has a better performer than I do- Fdry, Jcom, Jnpr, Yhoo, when I am stuck with crummy stuff like Nte or Tsco or Hott. The grass is always greener in the other bulls pasture. And Jcom and Hott split today. Sig

Look out above, the Nas is ready for 2000 Market is a bit confusing at the moment, too much good stuff to consider. Techs are hot, so my decision is to leave the retailers behind- hott,ann,gps,shrp,etc, and go with more techs. Adtn look like a winner on improved earnings estimates, and Nte cancelled a 9mm share stock offering because of having enough money to work with. In shopping at a local general store, I bought a Chinese made laminated wooden box with watch, pen, and multi purpose tool for $15 and they have many more Chinese products. China is already on its way to being very important in the production arena. They were always a low cost provider, I remember in the 1930's my sisters getting miniature porcelain china settings as toys, and under present economic conditions, price is rather important Regards Sig
