TD.

your lesson of '99 (i.e., "don't write covered calls") on the AMCC board, brings to mind a recent post from the value forum. this guy, a diehard deep discounter (aka theft), said that shorting a tech stock this year was like getting run over by a train. the same train that is going to derail a mile down the track.

source: Julian Robertson in the most recent Barron's.

never heard of Julian, but i kinda like what Bill Miller (Legg Mason) said on the valuations of many dot coms: "there's value in these stocks alright. it's just that the value is much lower than the current share price."

btw, did you ever take a look-see at NetApp? (un)fortunately, i think i PM'd you on it just before it got NTAPped by the hand of Gilder. i was fairly comfortable with the barely sub-100 P/E, but now that all the Georgies have gotten aboard, it's gone "shinkansen."

(just back from tokyo -- that's the japanese bullet train, NN.)

to steal your phrase, when does the roach-motel investor sell?
