Thanks, Lee. I will take a look, but I never know how to plug in the info I want to calculate or how to interpret it and the tools are usually for a PC, not a Mac. -- (edit -- I see it's browser based! this is good!) I'll try harder this time. Today has been incredibly frustrating. I bought these options at the broker I hate to use for options because any cash I had happened to be at that broker at that moment. They are very bad at filling options orders, very slow and never get a price in the middle. Well, this time I changed an order many minutes before the price was hit, but they filled that old order. That always happens there and never happens to me in that time frame at Brown. So I sold my EK puts too soon. I actually changed that order three times with minutes between each change, it was such a long time from the time I first changed it till the fill confirmation of the original order came back. I made a nice profit, but I'm frustrated by the brokerage firm. I should still be holding those options -- didn't want to sell them this soon. I already have forms filled out to transfer this brokerage account to Brown, but wanted to wait till Sept expiration since I have some Sept calls there and need to be able to trade them. Linda
