Chance,

Got away with writing calls against CNQ for months and it got to be nice way to earn beer money. Finally caught up with me this month as I've got a 1/3rd of the position at Apr $55.

No regrets other than I should've looked harder at rolling them over into May. (aero suggested it privately but I didn't give the experienced suggestion more attention).

I've got so much more to learn

CC

>>> Discussing one's financial status has always been distasteful and always should be, but my CNQ advances these last few weeks will pay my automotive liquid hydrocarbon tab for '07 - thank you very much. <<<

Nothing wrong with it from my perspective as long as it is given in the spirit of sharing something that worked for you and might help others.

I welcome comments on how people are doing, especially in percentage terms.

This is very important if many people are doing well and I'm doing below average - then there is a good reason to make the effort to examine what stocks, what strategies, etc.

I also find the various investing styles a useful perspective.

I don't think we will have the tacky boasting that some other boards have.

I think we will have low key, dignified boasting ;-)
