Jerome,

re: 'I'll stick my neck out and suggest GM...Buy the stock and sell some calls against it....sell some puts below the stock's current price.'

How many shares? Covered calls for which expiration/strike? How many put contracts at which expiration and strike?

cheers,

HI Jerome,

I bought 3000 GM @ 5.70 held them on Thursday washout and flipped them Monday.

I'd buy them back below 5 again this time.

I've been scalping Cohu,Kvhi,and wanting to get into Thor,but I missed the best entry on Friday.

I'm a nervous flipper here - can't seem to muster up conviction - might just be a healthy thing.

Bob
