Thanks, but I came across APCO through a Wacco Kid spotlight or something. Unfortunately I also found NIAR. NIAR went from $1.25+ down to $.008. Right now I'm in APCO, APM, ASND and ATML ( hey, I see "A" pattern here) :-), and have no idea what to look for, as far as, getting out. ASND I've ridden from $33 down to $23 and back up to its current $43+ just because I "knew " it would come back because it's a strong company in a growing field. I've been in ATML before. I made some money in the stock, but lost a BUNCH on long calls. I'm currently trying to recover my expensive "learning" experience with options. Really the things I learned was to not gamble with long out of the money calls, and sell at a loss to protect capital when it moves strong against you. Now, I'm working with 1/3 the capital I started last August with because I didn't sell thinking "I've got time for it to come back. 3 months is plenty of time." Hopefully others reading this may be spared this difficult lesson. Chris
