Ken, I did a mildly bullish forward conversion with Dell (long stock, short at the money call, long out of the money put) at exactly the same time. You made more, but I did o.k. on a stock I hate. <G> MB

Hi Ken, you are smarter than me, I bought Dell at 60 on 10/5. On the other hand, I bought Lucent at 59.68 and Cisco at 48.37. Too bad I didn't wait a couple more days. Then, when everything hit the fan, I was too scared to buy more. Now, and this is really silly, I am afraid to buy anything because it's October. I tell myself, I only have to wait another week until November, what am I going to lose, two week's gain? So I am watching all the things I want get more expensive, because all these bears say this is a sucker's rally, and I don't have the guts to think for myself. Maybe I will learn something from the other guys and start using puts and covered calls. I did get a couple of books from the library. What is "ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!" ? CobaltBlue
