At this point the premiums are to high. Buy the stock or sell Putts. In actuality selling calls and puts whille owning the stock is a nice way to make money on the volitility! You could also buy options heavy in the money where premium is very small. This is very risky!

Hopefully, you are well into the money before expiration of the call options. You may sell the option before expiration and realize your gains and, of course, pay your taxes. Or, you may exercise the options and pay the exercise price for your shares and own more shares.

Voop and JGoren: Eudora has become a standard supported by most e-mail services (but not AOL, for some unknown reason). With a standard out there, it is easier to incorporate compatible applications into products that allow the reading of e-mail and the sending of e-mail, either keyed in or converted to writing from voice input. My impression is that e-mail comprises probably more than 80 percent of communications among those who use online services. As that huge user base moves toward wireless, Eudora will be there as the software of choice. This is the theory, but I think there is a great deal of evidence pointing in this direction. Art
