you ever short calls and puts? Jeff, how about you ... could be a nice hedge for your core position depending on your entry point. Judy, only by accident. Fortunately it was profitable.<g> Options would be a good hedge at this point. I just play with trading shares and hold a core position on all long term buys. Jeff

RMBS..no I never have. For me buying options is just a substitute for buying the stock I buy in-the-money or deep-in-the-money. I buy them for leverage and I don't like time decay. One point is usually equivalent 35-60% profit. I would consider on RMBS buying BOTH a put and call with the same strike price. If it 'runs' I would gain on one side more than I would lose on the other side. RMBS is definitely a stock that would be ideal for straddle, because it has extremely large price moves.
