Got em... I have you as short from 1275.50 and another from 1265.50 You have to keep track of the options stuff... I have you up 10.5% vs the S&P only up 3.9% so you ahead by over 2:1. Why do some say they sell a put or a call while others say they short them? They are the same... Shorting to me implies that you eventually have to cover while selling calls is a way to generate income if they are covered calls... and I have not thought about selling puts. K
