Bob, The value of the options trading in these stocks is staggering, isn't it? I hope you are right. I wish I could really understand what is going on with these things. OT- I am interested in selling covered calls. I know about option modeling and would like to be able to evaluate actual prices with the model. Is there a software package or spreadsheet that will let me download bid/ask of various options and compare with the model (for instace somewhat like e-trade can do)? Also an you recommend a good intermediate book on writing covered calls (or just general options)? I don't think I'm ready for synthetic shorts, etc. yet! Thanks, Don dlwester@inav.net
