Ted, I have read previously about IOTN. I think I remeber even the long-missing Biily's discussinbg it in a private message. I have the stocks I want(ed), though and am not likely to go long on anything else. When my K is gone I'll probably go back to covered calls if I can find (preferably) printed lists of previous-day listed common-stock options. Or I might just pop my entire stash into QCOM.
