Neil: Many thanks for the info. Sometimes I wish I knew more about the technical aspects of options calculations, but after spending a good many hours with MacMillan"s book on options (I'm told that his book is the "bible" for serious options traders), I find that knowing too much about the finer points tend to obscure the bigger picture( for me, at least). I like to think that I can pretty well select stocks that will move the way I think they will.........not always of course, but I hit a good many more than I miss. I am not a short term trader. Short swings kill most options buyers. I like at least 2 months, but 3 is even better. I love Leaps. But, in all honesty, a long-term bear market would cost me a lot of money. That's why I play options with money that I can afford to lose. Thanks again for the info, and for your interest. Cheers and luck to all, Jack Gibson
