If we get up there (over 16) , we will need some help from the company to keep up there. Don't be so sure about daytraders <g>. Just look at APNT, AMPD from last week. The former went from 15 to 40, and the latter went from 3 to 16. However, this wasn't that type of frenetic rise for us. More like a steady exchange, with firm bid, and upward bias. Regards, Steve

On the lighter side, I wanted to point out that the initial poster to this thread, Anthony Denaro, is finally in the black on his 2000 share position of MTSN. His 2/23/96 message is prominently displayed as you log onto this thread. Where are you Anthony and are you still long MTSN??

A decent option play on MTSN. If one has confidence that MTSN is heading higher from here the best option play would be the Jan. 12 1/2's . Currently trading at 3 5/8 by 3 3/4. These options are already 2 1/4 points in the money. A move to 18 By January options expiration would make a nice profit. These options may lack liquidity but the time value premium will actually increase if the stock rises rapidly. As I work it out buying three contracts at 4 for $1200.00 dollars, would be more profitable than buyin a hundred shares of stock. I realize that many posters on this thread don't trade options, but investing a small percentage of ones capital in options can yield significant bottom line appreciation to ones portfolio. FWIW, Jerome
