Hawk; well one thing I didn't mention is I can take on more stock if she falls enough, but I think the way I might do that is if she falls more is to write puts at the strike I'm willing to buy at, and let the put money offset the cost..and if she don't dip that low I keep the put money.. I don't like to buy puts, after a stock is down, I rather try to catch the bottom some how. I don't buy many puts at all, any more..did to much of that in the past..found more money in calls..put's are mostly to get me in cheaper than she is selling for. Jim
