That is very interesting wonderboy.
I have much to learn. I will learn it, though. I feel like I have to. My boss told me that my position may not be secure in 2007, so I am pushing up the schedule to learn and make my life more financially secure. I lose my job and I am off the internet. Do you know how hard it is to get a job when you are in your 50's?

Wonderboy this amazes me.
I am looking at the strike of $30.00 and it shows the growth was 175% but the price is only .91 cents above that. How can that be? I see it was .40 on your original 2-1-06 call but stopped the 10th with 1.10, still you're only .91 above the 30.00 you began at. And, it looks ready to give that back.

Wonderboy - That is a beautiful example of strike price -vs- return on option in relation to stock price change.

What charting package are you using for options, and is it realtime?
