Hi Mike: I do track a lot of techs , it's a wild sector, I look for things most others don't normally look for.. ( how may institions own it..how much when did they get in..at what price..) can they program short aginst the box, and set a bias to buy more shares on the down side with the profit off the short sell..there by accumulating shares..in a way that supports the price ( to later dump them ) it's a wild sector. What do you mean by holding entry points in some of thoes stocks ? like selling puts to mybe get in under the price. Thats how I got in psix..they put it to me..I used put money towards the price..then after I got her I sold calls, so she has to get down to hurt me. <G> I'm in under the underwriter, sure they can take her from me come july..but even if they do I'll make 21% on my money for 5 months. I'm in some closed end bond funds ( safty ) guess I'm sort of scared of most of the techs, but I play a few options, all in all I do better with calls than puts..but guess thats because of the bull market. I wanted to short AMD last week but was out of cash..goodness I see a lot of shorts right now..but can't play them all with out a lot of risk that I don't care for. I'm tracking AOL hard..she is a short but very hard dfor a poor man to play, and can do some wild reversals..<G> Lots of big shorts playing her..mostly they have her pumped up.. heaven help the longs when the shorters cash in. I think most people think shorters just cause the price to go down..what I see is mostly they support the price..( up to a point ) by not taking profits but accumalitng stock on the down swing ..then later sell that accumulation off off. It has a lot to do with all the ups and downs..more than the news.. Thanx for the kick back will look at you holdings when I get some time..I like your urls, that insider trading has tiped me off more than once. Jim
