> I thought you had over a 1000 put contracts in intc.

Close, but not quite that much. I wrote them off as probably worthless. Luckily INTC options premiums are 1/5th that of most internuts.. Otherwise I would be in quite a bit of pain.. But I MORE than made up for that loss with my AOL puts, and my YHOO puts just went up 25% today.

Notice the put premiums shooting up while the common stock is only down.. er, its down 3 now and dropping!

GST, HJ, WHERE IS WILLIAM?

I think he's pretty close to being insolvent unless he finally gave in and sold at a loss. Perhaps we should pass the hat to help him get back on his feet? :-D
