I use Schwab too. Had 9 out 10 calls once called away. Heard they were going to change from random to some other method S

Thanks for the info. i too thought calls in the money always got called. just means more profits. looks like the market is going to truly test the downside here. We could very well be in a bearish market now. Lots of leaders are falling. And from books and experience, when the leaders fail, watch out. And what seems like it can't go down any further will fall more. just look at some of my favorite high flyers (since i only follow the high fliers and short them when my signals are given). here is my list. It is not all inclusive since two more gave signals today. one being lcos. (again, and i have to reenter my short) sctr mscc pixr tklc imnx rcot ames acai bldpf twmc itwo uis abtx cdrd medq dkwd dmmc file igen lhsg lhspf skyw hcfp manu ovid pmcs altr srcm oh yeah, i tried to buy puts on intel, but my price was just a little too good and my trade did not go through. I have positions in some of the above though. good luck and i hope this helps. many of the pick trade options and have high put premiums for covered positions.

TB..i was exercised on 400 GM 65 calls on 8/10/98 and 600 IP 8/18 and the remaining 200 IP 8/21 all a charlie schwab... was surprised that the 800 IP was split up... HERM..I have enjoyed your site and info since April...I have use a modified Dow Dogs strategy beginning my 5 year in July. i decided to add covered calls and toolbox ideas to increase the return...since these type stock: chv;xon;ip;gm;t;gt;cat;dd;mmm;mo are out of favor they don't quickly rally to the top band...therfore have to use a nice uptic effect of market for cc ing. any suggestion... again thanks for the great teaching.
