[TheOptionClub.com] Re: What good is it?

 

First, to Chris:
Perhaps I was a bit harsh and for that I apologize to the moderator. I am also a member of Just Covered Calls – they are not moderated and I don't see any spam appearing there. I find that group free flowing with quick input and the co-moderators occasionally stepping in to re-direct a subject or two. No problems there.

Now to Mojo:
If you don't know me then why did you make all those incorrect assumptions about me? You are flat out wrong! And by the way, you did not write that for everyone - you clearly seemed to be attacking me.

OK, back to the subject…
I had a question that I assumed would be posted at least in the morning. I did not have a trade that was dependent on the answer, as some of you assumed – it was just a what-if. I waited all day for it to appear but it wasn't there until 10 PM that night. That was not my expectation and I did not know how frequently entries were reviewed. So now I know.

Anybody know a good joke?

- Jeff
