Yahoo's download info also speaks of a problem with NetScape 4.0 and later...which I use...you have to tweak it a bit to get it to read the Yahoo quotes.

question regarding leaps. first of all thanks to all who have taken the time to answer questions on this insightful thread. i am in novl for 500 shares at an average of 23.50/share. the market seems wobbly, but rather than sell at a loss i'm thinking of selling some in the money leaps. jan 2000 20 calls for 5.00. that would bring my price down to 18.50 a share. if the price drops i could buy back the calls and sell some new ones for more income or if the price rises i may get called out. is it likely that i would get called out quickly. how often do people get called out in a situation like this? i am trying to save my ass in the case of a further tech sell off. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks
