No lightspeed for me. I use Green Mountain through Echotrade.

Good luck with the sprinkler discussion. Hopefully it rains soon so you can hold her off for a while.



Thanks

Quote from Robert Weinstein:

no, I am still long rimm calls. I been writing weeklys up until about 10 or so days ago and I wrote the April 15s.

I am currently underwater with RIMM, but not by a whole lot as the covered calls have brought my basis to around $14.50ish

The current price is near the carry away dead price so I see little downside risk relative to an upside bounce on good news.

Still is starting to look much like COCO did last year. Only with COCO I sold every bounce and bought back most of the drops. I may add some RIMM to bring my basis down further and write calls against it. upon a bounce let it go and if it fades back lower pick some more up.

The problem I have with this strategy is Rimm at some point is likely to move up over $20 again and a lot will be left on the table if I am only writing covered calls. I will have to see what the premium levels look like to decide.



it's been a while Bob but have to keep you honest since you sounded so sure on this trade

No one can predict how incompetent RIMM has become. This is a technology company that keeps delaying its technology. You cannot compete if you don't introduce the next model.

Good idea. yes it's been a while.

RIMM has been good to me, but I haven't traded it in a couple of months.

Have a good weekend

Bob

I can not agree with you more. Even if the do kick 10 out the door anytime soon. It's not likely they are going to have the ecosphere for app development.

Still, RIMM is trading for not much more than cash

RIMM's performance today was less than inspirational.

I am testing out some new brokers. My account was setup today for the first account I have started in ten years. Will report how it goes.

Zynga reports next week. I wrote about it and I will likely position long Monday as well.
