You can never tell with AAPL, I think it’ll be fine which is why I sold a naked put on it, but I know it can bounce around a lot which is why I sold so far OTM.
I like handling my own investments, so I doubt I’d hand over the reigns to someone else. I also do well (beat the indexes) and don’t know who could do better without taking a good sized commission off of my little $60k account.

That is a great list on the site above. I had to add it to my favorites. Also, the Amazon story makes me sick, imagine if you had kept the stock! Why is it so hard for people to buy and hold?
Alos, i’m wondering if AAPL sold off enough yet or can really tank more. Finally, if you knew someone who was smart, and unemotional in his decisions, would you trust him to invest for you? Plus, i like “doing” trading, so i’d have to give that up, as well as “trust” someone—-who may do TONS better than me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give it a try. For now, I’ve removed the “must register” requirement and have requested a user name from Akismet.

Hey btw just an idea, turn off the you have to register to comment setting, it makes it a lot of work to comment! Just get Akismet for spam protection and the rest is a piece of cake.

Wow, this is pretty cool. I am not an options trader by any means and still have yet to really get a good grasp of the game. Apple has seen some pretty strong price volatility as of late though. Good luck with the MRO position.
