<<How many times have you asked this now?>> There was a simple answer to the question, one you chose not to provide. For the record, we are up 36.4% YTD, and that includes all of our IRA positions, not just our AAPL call positions Best wishes

Considering that I announced my original trade, and on separate occasious posted not only when and what I shorted at, what I think I'll cover at, and what percentage I'm down three times, also stating how much money I'd be loosing when I covered at that price, then one might think your question was disingenuous. I agree that you have been quite forthcoming about your short trade with AAPL. I commend you for that. Most who post such things and have a trade go against them just disappear from the thread, or refuse to answer questions later.

The answer is 11.34% My rule has always been to cut and run at 15% loss. I'm hoping your trade actually makes money as I'm looking for a re-entry point when the stock corrects.

<<Actually, disingenuous is the wrong word. In truth, someone might just think something much worse about you by the nature of your repeated question. How many times have you asked this now?>> You make me chuckle zax :-) My memory is not so good, and I appreciate you answering the question. I don't much care what you think of me. My friends love me and so does my wife of 34 years. Thanks for the reply. I would suggest you keep your trades on a shorter leash - maybe 5% at the most. regards Ron
