space, another thing to do when you get that positon in coms. is roll he positons....take money off the table and roll it up..
look at mcmillan for details.
creaf..i wish i owned it..I this it's back up as soon as the see the 4q pc results.
I was a A player in racketball in compnay tournements and a B- player
in outside tournements.
B- rb players are pretty good.
wjen I played I had a 160-170 MPH serve that bounces several times before you even see it..
so, I won 15 to a their few points most of the time.

good luck,
any scare of orcl isn't founded since they don't relate to most techs

I have done a little math and I think that provided one can
time the sale of the covered call properly each month, one can make a lot more money
by going that route, though it obviously is a lot more work than a simple spread.


I would think that a spread would be a cheaper way to invest, just given option prices versus buying the stock and holding it and writing covered calls. What am I missing?
