OT >>>Re selling your IOM: I've been having some luck writing covered calls. Why did you sell instead of writing calls?<<< Good question. I went back and forth a few times prior to selling because I considered selling the calls with a number of long term holdings. The bottom line is that I've been selling quite a few of my individual positions lately in order to build up some cash to have on hand. I almost never trade on margin (I like to sleep), and believe that their might be a short-term pull-back in the tech sector as we begin this pre-announcement period and continue through quarterly earnings. I want to be able to participate as much as possible if this happens. If not, well, that's the name of the game. Regards - Dale
