Don, wonder if you could do me a favor? Bot some Nov 105 calls on TXN yesterday. Felt the stock had been unduely hammered after two upgrade recommendations a couple of days prior. Last night Business Week had a nice article on it. Moved up nice today on the BW news but am wondering how much further it might run up. Came down hard yesterday about 12 points. Want to get out of these calls soon b4 I loose to much premium. Thanks in advance. Have a Happy Halloween and a great weekend. George.

HI Don,
are you confident enough to go with November calls if 7300 is reached or would you rather take Decembers?

Thanks

Heg

Don, one more on the serious side (sorry to drip feed my questions):

Which indexes do you find worth trading in these days??

I find the NDX bid-ask spread of FIVE dollars a bit discouraging.
Having high implied volatility is one thing, at least if we sell the thing quickly enough we get back most of the high premium we paid for the high volatility. But the big spreads look like daylight-robbery to me.
