J&#252rgen,

I'm finding that, by writing puts (Glenn Rudolph is da man on these), I can better keep the early profitization disease under control.

That is because (1) the fact that I can take in premium gives me more of a buffer, allowing me to ride the stock more and (2) the things expire after 4 weeks, at which point I can just write more. I'm really enjoying seeing those "Expired" notices on my FIDO account for the options that lapse.

<<LOL, "premature profitization" is a serious disease <G>>>

But definately not a fatal one! <gg>
