David, thanks for the prompt view. When I checked at the end of the day the volume on the Nov 5s was 900 each with 110 Oct 5 puts also. Don't know if the 110 Oct puts skews the bullish/bear view either way but since there were only 3 other options traded (Oct 5 calls) I look in the glass and it is half empty. Can you add water to make it tilt to the full side? Thanks again. Regards, Don

Can I ask an OT heretical-theoretical question? No? Good. Why in the heck would you run up a tracking stock? You can't ever get bought out by an acquiring company so your Probability x Price of (small p x BIG $) is zero. You can't get dividends as far as I know like this would be possible for Biotech anyway (exceptions not worth noting). So what kinda cash flows are you buying?? That having been said I happily play in the fields of GZxx (where xx= any two letter combination)along with the rest of em but do have trouble with the overall valuation. RWR
