Pancho... Re: BFIT analysis Please do not waste your time in responding. You have done everyone a great service to show how to look beyond the smoke and mirrors and determine what is really going on. Have you ever thought of running a school for investors like me who feel a financial statement is really too hard to understand. I thought I knew a little about them but wow, you have opened my eyes. Thanks again and that report will be printed out and used again and again. Bob T.

BFIT analysis was reassuring as I had looked at it before reading your post and noticed the sleight of hand. I'm looking to understand the shorting mentality and you and others have helped much. Right now I feel more comfortable with options and wonder if someone can explain how to figure a fair price on the premium. Of note (if you're not a BFIT member), they often will send you a notice to renew every 3-6 mos. whether you have renewed or not and give you a small discount if you pay 3 yrs. in advance.
