Hi Robert; thats when she fell last year, "when the shorts pulled out" the string pullers are making a killing off the shorts, when the shorts give up, then the string pullers sell off, most of them got their shares at less than $10. There is no way to predict it but at the last min you will see the Jan98 32.50 calls sell off, before they dump the stock they will dump the calls, but that can happen to fast to catch it if your not looking at the time. ---------------------------------------- AOL , the stock lives off the short sellers, the company off hype, and spam. If either one quits working she fall to maybe single digits..but the time frame could be some time off. ----------------------------------------- I have a large position in Jan98 puts, no way I'll give it up, short term puts are not my main game. But I have timed her ups and downs right 3 out of the last 5, I closed short term puts out on the 3rd..still on the side lines since then, all the volume you see are shorts..they sell put in a buy stop and get picked off..wait till you see her go up and no volume results..she will hang a few days then correct..as she corrects the shorts will rush back in ( half of them too late )..and she will do her normal thing down about 8 pts..then fly back up. You have to be fast and in front of the curve, or at least on it. Jim |
