Of course I don't mind... to type the "accent" you have to go to "accessories" and then "characters"... (if you have windows), or have a Latin language keyboard (Spanish, French, and the like)... (I think you can program it under Word). Like you, I opened a small long position, (back in January or February, I can not remember), and then sold a covered call, locking what it looked, (at the time), a small profit... as it may happen, (July), it may turn to be a great experiment, particularly if the options expire worthless.... I will then be exposed by holding the pig.... (I can always sell another set of calls)... or ideally, have the pig do a cat bounce... and sell outright... I wonder if the animal rights protectionists will ever sue the securities industries for using the names of animals to describe what it is clearly foolish acts of HUMANS !! <g> I use SI for (primarily), entertainment... particularly in days like today, that the market seems to be just "marking time"... before tomorrow...You should see the SCH chart, compared to other days... completely directionless.... I will admit that SI does have its moments ot greatness, and I manage to extract good info, (or sources of), here and there.... I find your posts and Jan's informative and as if I was listening to a radio broadcast of a great soccer game... play by play.... the two of you seem to have a good understanding of markets, and do it with the right attitude. Investment has to be seen from the light side... otherwise one will get a heart attack... in my eyes, investment is long term, that means years, hence who cares about short term gyrations... On the other hand, day trading/short term speculation, must be taken with discipline, and humor, taking losses quickly and lightly.... Otherwise you get killed, either by the market (who has more money), or by stress... besides... if you can not afford to take the losses, then you should not be playing in this casino. Just my opinion of course. By the way... you can do this with "characters".... ô¿ô """""
