Happy, thanks. I have been writing puts and calls to accomodate my Intc and LU/Asnd holdings, and it's working. I realized over $13K Intc premium for Jan+Feb, and most likely another $6K Intc premium for this Friday's expirations. I already wrote some April calls, and pending to write more. I realized over $4K for writing Jan+Feb LU calls; nice $$ for writing Asnd Puts/calls too. I am trying to build up similar positions in WFC, EMC, SLB and a few others on a long term, on going basis. I am still ground zero in the net world, trading only.

Amazon.com puts Foote, Cone & Belding on 30-day notice SAN FRANCISCO, March 17 (Reuters) - Internet book retailer Amazon.com <AMZN.O> threatened to leave advertising agency Foote, Cone and Belding, a unit of True North Communications, if it does not improve performance on the account, an agency spokesman said. Tom Robbins, spokesman for FCB in San Francisco, told Reuters the agency received a letter from the Seattle-based Internet company giving them 30 days' notice, but he declined to give further details. Amazon.com, which spends about $40 million a year on advertising, did not return phone calls. Earlier this week, the company launched its first TV campaign in a year about a fictitious search for a location to house its bookstore. The new ads are based on a radio and print campaign that Amazon.com ran previously. FCB, which recently laid off 35 employees, has been experiencing a rocky period since it lost clothing company Levi Strauss's $90 million jeans business a year ago.
