Zeev, Sorry that you don't like Options, I do. So far, in 2003 I have had seven sucessfull Option trades and one loser. I allways buy 5 to 7 point IN THE MONEY Options, two to three months out, at what I perceive, to be market cycle turning points. If an Option price falls 50% from my cost, I take the loss.
Right now I am holding two (long) Call Option contracts, and both are in the black.
