Bob, We don't have a twelve step program except for thread members with extra toes. <G> I looked at the DOT. First, I love the names that are in it. But two things were disappointing. I hoped they would start the index at 100, as they usually do with such things. They didn't. They started it in the mid-300s. The next thing is that it has few out of the money strike prices, which cuts flexibility. And last, the premiums are enormous. I believe in betting a little to have a chance at making a lot. With the DOT, I would have to sell blood to Dracula to have a shot at making a lot. <G> MB
