"I didn't follow the two rules: 1. buy a basket of potential gorillas; 2. sell the loser [BEAM] in the gorilla fight, and move the money into winner [VISX]." i have just finished reading the over 50 posts on this thread dealing with visx. i just lucked out because i had not yet exercised my december 80 calls so i will probably have a small loss rather than the large one i would be facing had i exercised. i would be most interested if those who posted on this topic would continue the dialogue based on todays news so one could have a better idea on whether to pick visx up at bargain prices or stay away. thanks. regards quote.bloomberg.com
