On 7/21/08, I sold 2 TIE Aug08 15 Calls for a net deposit of $40.50 in my taxable account.  I now own these TIE shares at 26.71.

Can you hear that chipping sound again?  TIE does pay a small dividend of .075 per share per quarter.  At this time I don’t really track dividends as part of my total return on my various stocks so I don’t know what that is.  I do know that I receive something over $10,000 per year for all of my stocks across my various accounts.  So, any stock that contributes to that cannot be all bad, I guess.
