Your doggedness

Its just like golf, the game you disparage, -- its better to be lucky than good.

BD <<Now, Steve, this is not the way I planned this trade, but I feel very lucky to have my fat pulled from the fire. So not only did I get to keep all the premium, but I made 3/4 in the process. What a difference a day makes!>>
****************************
Just to make you're day a tad brighter, since you're cost basis in the deal was ~ 29 (put @ 30 less the 1.08 leftover cash), you actually made 1 3/4. Someone's gotta watch your trades for ya :-) Congrats, the whole thing was a ballsy, strong faith play. I'm glad it paid off to the black.

Hollywoood couldn't have dreamed up that one. Count yourself lucky, and thank OPEC. If it was just a one day blip and if we go down again, you caught the eye of the hurricane and your doulbe darn lucky.

Congratulations...next time buy at least a few darn puts for protection if you didn't like chewing on all that stock at the same time. GulP!!
