It's almost as unusual to see an optimistic view of SUNW's price on Briefing.com as it is on CNBC. Plus, what the Briefing gentleman says isn't even stupid. I agree the most likely scenario is the usual +1 cent followed by a selloff a day or two later. But in this case you can't be sure. It's always possible they had such a strong quarter that they couldn't put enough in the cookie-jar to stay in the usual range. We shall see. In the meantime, we gotta have a dip in the next 10 days...this stock doesn't have a 1.6 beta for nothing. Haim: I went over your "Synthetic Option" chicken play and it looks very sensible. It probably has a 75-25 chance of winning. I would actually place that bet if I were a gambler. But a) I'm not, and b) I'm too emotionally involved with my long-term holdings to place short-term bets against them. I guess I'm a fan (sob). Keeping my fingers crossed (for a blowout quarter and Haim is wrong). --QS
