I am impressed by yyour investing strategies and amused too. When INTC was under $100, I thought about getting in because I had been watching it since $70. With so many good news and analysis cooming out for it, it seemed like a very good buy. Unfortunately I didn't have enough cash so I thought about options. Well I didn't buy options, however if I had paid a little attention I could've seen the 1/2 priced warrants (by the way when do they expire?) See the problem with buying around the $100 mark was that I would get scared because of profit taking bringing the price sharply to low 90s and I didn't wanna' suffer. Well about options I just always thought it ws gambling, didn't feel good about it. Howeverm, I realize that if I had bot October calls for $95 I WOuld have more than doubled but I don't know if I wanna' do that because of the gambling idea. Like you said, I also think that I am not smart enough or qualified enough to try my luck with options, becuse I have lost so much (from my standards, student!!!) with just plain stocks and warrants. Say if somebody gave you $5000 now, and wanted you to invest for him would you go for INTCW? NOW? I kinda' wanna' diversify but like I said I get scared by sharp drops due to profit taking and get emotionally attcahed by following the market every hour. You seem to have a good idea of where you want to be and how to get there. I have tried my luck with risky companies like IOMEGA and suffered, I'd hate to do the same with someone else's money if only my uncle!! I am confident to see INTC around $130 by March '97. Call options look very attractive if one was only trading 100s of $$. Thanks in advance for your advice and concern Rafique.
