I am glad your bambi is working out for you

it is gratifying when your hard work produces results

but that is only half the battle....selling is even harder!

btw, I have seen you posting around SI lately and I thought you were going away from SI for the month of July

it didnt last long ;-)

Hi Berney,

It's been a while, but I'm back. I'm with you on the 'expiring' options thing. The past two months my short term options plays (PFE,DIS,WLA) have been a total disaster (about 90% loss). It's hard to say goodbye to very large sums of cash. :-)

The LEAPs seem to be the way to go for me. I have great difficulty knowing when to buy and sell. I am sitting on a couple of large gains in y2k LEAPS (LU,CSCO,MSFT) and wondering what my exit plan is? I admire your discipline in setting limit sells. I only wish I could do that with my LEAPS. (Note: I can only do 'good for day' orders, and I don't want to be setting them everyday.)

I hope BAMBI keeps it up! Maybe someday we will hear about the BAMBI indicator on CNNfn. :-)

Is it 'Trader' Berney yet?
