How is that? Writing out of the $ covered calls is a conservative approach in which you can not lose money.

Ira? (never mind, hadn't read to the end of the thread when I first posted this.)

>> "Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse" <<

Trufflette -- Tried that for several years wayyyy back in the old days. . . managed to survive anyway. Too old and slow now to live fast without hurting myself. Besides, it just takes too darn long to heal/recover these days. Way too old to die young. And, as far as leaving a good looking corpse goes, there's always posthumous plastic surgery I suppose. Gee, maybe with all us Boomers heading into Geezerhood and beyond, there might just be room for a growth industry. Any one know of a good company/play in this area?
