Thanks for the reply. How do you go about purchasing leaps?? What are the symbols? Also, since I am new at this, I have noticed that one could buy just about any stock and sell in the money calls for a higher price than the purchase price of the stock, has anyone done this will regularity?? It seems to me like a safe way to earn money while taking less risk as long as you dont mind holding the stock if it drops. One last question, how do you know AOL is at a up cycle? Please explain.

Herm, I have read with great interest your posts on this thread and the W.I.N. theory. I am looking at 2 stocks that I write cc on, that is INTC and CSCO. Now, lets see if I have got this right. CSCO hit it's upper BB at around $102 and has been declining with lower RS since, so writing cc or buying puts should work. Correct? Intc is less clear to me but does seem to be on the decline back also, though RS seems to be picking up. With only 10 trading days left to options expiration this month, it seems both are good for cc's. Is this right? Appreciate all you help. regards, Ray
