HI Monty; Got all the charts and thanx, Tuesday I was busy as hell but saw what I thought was a buy on MSFT , ( enough so that I down loaded the option table that eve and figured out a call spread ) I was just a hair from buying the calls Wed but had something else going and let it slip. Taht little move from Wed to Friday would have let me lock in a $12 gain, had I did the spread selling calls and buying puts late Friday. Those spreads are complicated and take up so much of my time and I had other money down I wanted to watch. I use to hop around like a chicken with his head off trying to find the big move until I had to many irons in the fire to watch but I have slowed that down, I now try to swing hard at whatever I'm swinging at and let the rest of the market spin. Those I almost caught don't help except to remember where and what I saw so if I see it again I can grab it. --------------- Thanx again Jim
