Finally got into Vasco Data Security INC (VDSI) via an options play. I bought a Sep 10 call for $3.70 and I like the fact that I have until Sep to let this trade play out, which is the great thing about options. I am still a newbie to the world of options and still have plenty to learn. In this volatile market, it has been my investment in calls/puts, which has earned my the most money this year. If you are an investor interested in learning more about the options, I would recommend checking out this book: "Understanding Options" by Michael Sincere. He lays out the basics in very understandable terms and it has been the book I reference the most.

Just wanted to bring everyone else up to speed on some recent trades. I have added to my position in Sterlite Industries Limited (SLT) and re-entered into Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (RIO) in after market hours trading. HAGO Justin
