To All, Saw the first ad in the paper for free PCs if you buy Compuserve for the same price they charge for AOL without the PC. It was a nice little EMachines 333 Mhz, very similar to the box I am using except for brand name and the fact that I was dumb enough to pay money for it. <g>

Mike (or anyone else), a question about options. Suppose I have put contracts out on a stock and for some reason the stock (or the general market due to some national emergency) stops trading through the expiry date and then starts up again at some time later. Are the put contracts worthless or are they still valid? It seems fair that they should still be valuable but the strict reading of the contract says that they are not.
