Gary: Was that the last bounce or the one just after 3:00 pm? I should have taken the 3:00 pm bounce but figured we'd get one more run before the close, caught the last one at 110 and unloaded 50% of the March 80's/90's I was holding. I had a sell in on 1/3 of my largest block of shares at 115 which we never reached again. So, all long positions still intact for tomorrow, plus 50% of the calls. Spent a couple of hours today kicking myself for not unloading everything (calls and stock) during that first hour run up and then buying back, until I ran the numbers at the end of the day and saw how I'd made out by unloading and buying back 50% of the calls reasonably close to the top and bottom during that first hour and a half. I was taken by surprise by the volume behind it and the speed with which it went - 14 points up in 25 minutes, 20 points down in less than an hour. The March 80's and 90's dropped from 40 to 25 and from 32 to 20! I this a.m. is any indication, tomorrow could be a real roller coaster. David T.
