Hey V, I realize your self-imposed exile from the Q thread may keep you away till $400, but do you think the MM's are unhedged with the calls they sold on the way up and that when the institutions demand the all those hard to come by shares Friday or Monday, we might see a Space Shuttle-type launch? Tks. JF3

HEY, VOLTAIRE! Why don't you come back to your porch? SI is boring without you. Your messages on Yahoo are being cross posted to the Q thread anyway. Why not let them copy from here? Aunt Nancy won't let me go anywhere near Yahoo <g>. Unc

Voltarama, more on discussion on Y2K unfolding and hedge to protect I had an insight early this morning as I awoke to a cute kitty staring into my eyes two alternative hedging techniques: sell calls, buy puts selling calls renders position vulnerable to being called away buying puts requires outlay of cash of course, each can be reversed during QCOM decline or advance how about sell calls to protect half positions ??? buy puts with the incoming cash to protect other half ??? I like your idea of using other people's money this seems like a compromise with little if any outlay my timeframe is flexible, to be triggered by events, signals, etc anyone executing on a rigid schedule here is likely to snafu more later / Jim
