[johnnieb]

just picking up on your comment on the time decay disadvantage of options which is, of course, absolutely right... but... there are a number of advantages in using options as well and, for those taking a relatively short time frame for their trades of, say, a few days, the time factor is less of a problem, although with their wider spreads they're not as suitable for rapid intraday trades; one advantage is that there is a defined downside limit (the premium) which, in the case of puts, addresses your previously stated aversion to shorting because of the 'runaway' risk; then, with slightly out of the money entries, the loss in the event of a move in the adverse direction will tend to be less than in the case of a cash trade.

commissions of course tend to be higher and, oh!, those spreads by comparison with cash, but, not all bad if used in the right way...

Zeev,

Might Invent Resources look into a unique temperature device
that can be used to determine when poultry is cooked thoroughly ?

For example, if the inside temperature of 195 F is wanted,
then create a special popping corn next to your turnips
that have an inner which goes from solid/liquid to gas
at the 195 F such that when

When the Turkey's butt blows the oven door open, it's done.

also,
Would your wife have an opinion on the following supplement
i take each day.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid 50 mg

Drug Therapy: Pharmacogenomics
Drug Disposition, Drug Targets, and Side Effects
.
It is well recognized that different patients respond in different ways
to the same medication... it is estimated that genetics can account
for 20 to 95 percent of variability in drug disposition and effects.
.
Although many nongenetic factors influence the effects of medications,
including age, organ function, concomitant therapy, drug interactions,
and the nature of the disease, there are now numerous examples
of cases in which interindividual differences in drug response are due
to sequence variants in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes,
drug transporters, or drug targets.
.
Unlike other factors influencing drug response, inherited determinants
generally remain stable throughout a person's lifetime.
