Doug - Re: "Rollouts" - Thanks for your post on "rollouts." Was unaware of it & will ck. w/our brokers. On ASND, had to do it for sev. mos. last yr. after buying underly'g.stk. in June '96 -> [finally came-out ahead] - "rolloutting" [?? my new word] would have saved consid.$$; however, since now doing most trades on-line & just [Dec.] running into a prob. w/one of my brokers, re simult. & "mixed" [eg. buy 2/close + buy 2/open on same mo. & strike] trans's. for 1 comm. [not allw'd.] thru on-line trading, I would add the thought: compare the diff. in comm. betw. 2 on-line trades vs. 1 broker-facilitated trade [assum'g. will permit a "rollout"] and go/w the lower one. Just mentally [whatever's left of it ] calc'd. a sm. one, & net = $1.00 lwr. w/2 on-line trades; but will vary w/trans. Thanks again, CJ
