List,

Well I did it again, to coin a popular phrase.  I picked the wrong options
to write as my call options.  It'll probably work out OK, but I feel pretty
stupid.  I rummaged around the web early this morning (early to me anyway)
and tried to pick the right options to trade.  For some reason, I had a
brain freeze and picked SXZHO and should have picked SXMHT, which is where
the volume is.

I will start looking for the opportunity to write some SXMHT Calls at
today's opening price and try to get them on an up-tick.  I will also try to
exit my SXZHO Calls on a further move down.

I brought up all of the August Calls on my screen and for some reason didn't
see the big volume in that other issue.  I guess I was too tired this
morning and better start planning these trades the night before.

Paranoia...you only have to be right once to make it all worthwhile!
