Hi Tony,

Truee confesssions - I always sell too early too.GG

On a perfect day - I've sold with a GTC lowball that hit when panic was in the air.

The worst that happens on these great sells is you only get the money and not a below market price on the stock you hoped to buy.

After losing many times by watching the time value of money decay away - I 've found that letting that decay work for you is much more forgiving than trying to beat it.

JMHO

Bob

When QCOM dipped below 35 this morning, sold Oct. 32 1/2s for .55.

Also tried to sell HTE Oct 25 puts for .50 but probably missed the price. Perhaps will simply do a buy-write instead.
