MB, I bought some shares of NEM a while back when it was under 17. I am tempted to buy more. I read most of your posts for the great plays. Thanks for MU and CPQ. Then you announced buying a second third of NEM. Why are you buying more NEM? Also would you explain what and why for the "Leap buy write"? I wanted to buy more NEM because I thought weaker Dollar and inflation might pop into the picture in the coming months. Interest rates are climbing already. I did sell some puts when NEM was knocking around 17. Thanks, Warren

Mr. Burke; Did the new home sales figures released today cause you to think that a delay in any inflation fears may last into the spring as our dollar stabilizes and the t bond yield seems to plateau near 5 3/4%? Could that be one reason to sell covered calls, expecting sideways action for a period of time rather than a bull move finally in the precious metals?
