Diamond, you have a habit of cutting and pasting different parts of a complete message and try to make points according to your own agenda. I re-read what I wrote and all I'm saying is FGII can go either way. If you want to hang on FGII by all means do so. The worst thing is invest in a stock without an objective, strategy and time period. I'm sure you know what you're doing.

<<It's that long term problem I have.>> Me too... I bought my first FGII shares at 40, soon after thinking I wouldn't see that again for a couple years. The ones I averaged down at 30 look pretty good now too. BTW great options ideas going on here, having the same problem deciding on selling some calls as a few others have mentioned. I'm even thinking of buying a little more at 39, selling the Aug 40 call @ $6. Thats 15% for 4 months. This protects you to 33. Given the volatility, I might even buy back the call sometime down the road. Rich.

Rick, He was complimenting me, I think, on my advise regarding writing covered on FGII. I urged a couple of people to examine spreads or straddles with FGII, but to leg-in the call write portion only after they examined what their underlying plans for the stock was, and NOT to do a call write IF they were that bullish. With FGII leaping as it has, it's violated the upper BB, and is oversold (unless there's news yet unknown). I urged him to be vigilient for writing calls at any time as they are very premium rich and I think the stock will retrace.
