    Toronto Meetup Oct 25 2007

    healthy, don't be an idiot and open your mind. SanCanAn is absolutely correct!! Message boards don't capture nuance. Torontoman was not accusing you of anything. According to your post, it seemed that you labelled the Toronto hookup party as a sales presentation for Learn To Trade in...

    Did I do the right thing?

    My plan was to roll to a higher strike, but it seems that it is difficult to roll to a comfortably higher level. If I rolled to 147/148 call spread, that's only 20 points further away from my original spread with 29 days left. That's a lot of time.
