I know one fellow that would agree with you. And he has a pretty fair reputation, too. His name is Peter Lynch. While he may not favor options, he is a FIRM believer that the individual has the edge on the investment "pros", IF the individual will stick to what he knows. I must paraphrase, as I do not recall the exact quote, but one of the things that drove Peter absolutely berserk was a M.D. who was involved in computer stocks. The Dr. has detail people from every major drug firm calling on him daily, mailing him information on their latest product, and even sending him free samples. So what does he do? He gets off work & buys Tandon or Atari or Amdahl. If you reaaly know the ins & outs of the computer business & are in touch with it on a daily basis, perhaps you will e-mail the rest of us a picture postcard from the Bahamas when you retire? <g> Best To You.
