a few words craig.august dell 155 calls. a few more... what are they worth today? and if they are gonna perform as you say they will. wouldn't today be a great day to buy them? btw i earned 200% in 2 years on one trade. never worried about it, never cared much.. could have taken a 60% return in two weeks, but favorable cap gains, no excess commissions and no instant access led me to lock in a worry free return. as far as the large gains you are talking about. statistics and time will bury you. and without the "dumb" shorts, the longs would never have gotten that return, so be nice about other peoples losses, as they may one day become your own. taxi
