H.S. Wrote first message before reading this one. John A. in the Net setting thread, teachs about setting "net" for stocks that are falling...like an open to buy on EFII at 12.5 or so, and 'spear fishing' as catching a good stock on the way up. My cost on EFII (with commission of course...grrr) is about 14.8, so my GUESS is that John would have a net set at 12.5 and another at 11 or so. And I think he sets a goal before selling...ask him...he's glad to share; and reading the thread is great for any of you that day trade. Also, there is a fairly new book out on options that EVERYONE not in investing but trying to get into it is reading...my doctor brother and all his partners love it...I'll try to remember to get the name. Just don't take it as pure gospel. I've have personally benefitted from options, but then also found they hampered me from selling when i had acceptable profits....ORCL to be precise...sold options at $3, but out 4 months and in that time saw my profits fall to even. Okay, I'm up three, bought at 27 so my new price avg is 24 and the stock is 22. Lesson: I was so sure of the stock, I refused the advice for a put. Or...as some would say..I 'fell in love' with the stock. Its all in the books...you just have to have the descipline to do it correctly. Goodnight all. cc
