GE and some others actually CAN make diamonds economically ... now they have a piece of paper that certifies that "this sapphire is natural" cause it can be grown in the lab cheaper just as well ...

To All, An old complaint, but I'm an old complainer. The lack of out of the money put strike prices during a decent decline irritates me no end. I am selling Oct IIX 350 puts and want to roll down to December 280s or lower. But, nooooooo, 300 is as low as they go with the index at 306 and change. There are plenty of Oct and Nov lower strike prices and I will have to use a Nov. But that sucks. I want time and I can't buy it. I feel like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" when the folks at the chi chi dress shoppe wouldn't wait on her. "I have money. Why do you treat me so bad? No, I will not take my cash to Hoors R Us." <G> MB
