>>"in reality" for the 50? I bot 50 contracts for real, between 2-1/4 to 2-1/2. I think I got filled at 2-3/4 and 2-7/8 on the close. I haven't checked. My option orders are often broken up into pieces by Waterhouse or EGRP!!!.....not always because I put in seperate orders..... What are you buying for your tree??? Clint

Jim, I left ~3/4 on the table with TI puts. Next time, my paper trades will NOT be the same as my real trades. The entire reason for my paper-trading was to make "bold" moves and use that experience to re-adjust my trading habits in the real world. By copying real trades in the paper-trade world, my somewhat "conservative" approach of trading in the real world is overshadowing that experience. I want to try "no-fear" type of trading and understand the thrill of buying or shorting YHOO at 155! Clint

OT Jim is it possible to "chicken cut" your tree rather than going for the "Big Kahuna"? Take the tree down limb by limb. I know it may be a lot more work. Start as high up as you dare and cut the tree into small pieces. A small piece will do little damage when it hits dear objects like your house. (Maybe a piece of particle board on your roof will protect it). Wiring the tree up with a come-along or two requires a good anchor. Make sure you consider wind. Large gnarly old oaks are not the easiest to fell. Watch out not to pinch your saw in the cut! Good Luck Lachesis
