Bill>>So I don't necessarily agree that people SHOULDN'T trade frequently... IF IT WORKS FOR THEM!!!<< Thanks for the alternate view. Actually, I do both. have a portion of the portfolio that never touch and a portion I trade with. tech stocks due to their high variability are particularly suitable for trading. However sometimes they take off for good! But most come back! WDC, GTW I thought would never come back and they did. Even INTC. Of all the stocks I trade the only one that refuses to come back is MSFT which I sold last at 114 in the Spring. However I traded it for a profit several times before it took off. In any event I think it is always a good idea to ask yourself the question: I am trading too much? another idea is to take your current portfolio and "frezze it" somewhere in the net and then compare it with a version in which you trade you may be amazed at the results! Options, [for portfolio protection] reduce risk but also return. Naked short term options are just lotery tickets as I think Staff onc said. Regards, Pancho
