HI John, Jan and I went to a college course called "baby boomers retiring". In the course they showed how powerful compounding can be - especially if the first several years are positive vs negative. It is close to a miracle that my first 3 years of selling puts in my IRA after rolling over my lifetime's accumulation of 401k's has been in a continuous bull market. this march it will be 3 years. My account has grown by 20% in the three years and unbelievably still has 97.8 % of the original cash in it,with which I can sell puts against the cash. It is a very conservative way to get a decent yield in an era of negative interest rates on a global basis. Thanks for pointing out the many neat features of stockcharts! I have to spend more time digesting the Tradestation features as well. So many studies and so little time. <smile> Bob
