And it doesn't work well to buy in at 19 3/4 and rush off to the airport without having any recourse along the way! I was "tricked" at 35, then at 26, could it be 3 times in a row? Maybe I just need to sell another JAN CALL and get it over with... Rats... Doug

El, I might do a little of both. Mostly golf though. I think we might be reinstating 50 PAQ or drinking more next year. NW

Talk about adding insult to injury: ******************************************************************** OptionInvestor.com Announces Investment Opinion on IBM Business Wire - October 21, 1999 17:48 LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 1999-- IBM Hammers the Market Tech stocks plunged today following International Business Machines' (NYSE:IBM) gloomy warning that concerns over the year 2000 bug are hurting hardware sales and may cut into profits. IBM's stock had traded as low as $89.00 this morning, an 18-point discount to Wednesday's close of $107.00. IBM initially stunned investors after the close of trading Wednesday by stating that potential buyers of its networks and database servers are postponing purchases until after the New Year, when issues concerning the Y2K bug are completely resolved. Unfortunately for the market, IBM's fall from grace wasn't a solo act. Moving down in sympathy with the computer giant were high-tech leaders Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ:SUNW), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Dell Computer (NASDAQ:DELL), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), Oracle Corp. (NASDAQ:ORCL), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP), and Compuware Corp. (NASDAQ:CPWR). ******************************************************************** I guess CPQ not only HAS TO participate in such prestigious downfalls but it does so while not being included among the HIGH-TECH LEADERS :^) /Piotr
