still using Telescan I am curious if you are having the same problem I am.
They have gone from delivering faulty data to, in addition, delivering no
data on selected stocks, i.e. they don't recognize the symbols. I had
forty one in tonight's download. I refuse to believe all these companies
went out of business or changed their symbol. </FONT></DIV>

Ummm... I'm rethinking what I said, but I do seem to recall, that one
of my initial purchase, was based on writing a put (Exxon), and alas,
a loss of the stock when I turned around after the exercise, and sold
a call. It was a 5 point gain plus the premium received of the put,
then the call, all within 9 months. I remember making 7-8 points all
together in that time period... Not a great gains, in view that Exxon
took off during the period the call was in effect.
