OT...on abuse and violence...Rose, I've been the contrarian voice on threads and it really does take some oomph to do it. The GroupThinkers don't realize it, but they are nearly always the 'aggressors'. I suppose it's territoriality or something. Being a minority is hard work when the gang gangs up. Since it usually means that you don't own the stock, it means there is not much motivation to stay 'on board'.

What did you think of Jim Willie threatening to punch or otherwise injure WMolloy? When one threatens to 'make an impression' that is a death threat. A punch in the head can easily be fatal and often is.

I've read the thread and will now complain to SI and ask to have Jim Willie removed from Silicon Investor. I don't consider his comments cute little 'man talk'. I consider them vulgar, aggressive, nasty and they have no place here.

Jim tells me that he is well-liked by his friends. I presume he doesn't carry on like that around them. He should not carry on like that here.

PS: Ramsey, I think that's only 120 shares with the split, not 160. 20 x 4 = 120, not 160 ... no wonder you are still poor. You can't count.

Rose. My sincere compliments on your option analysis ability. I finally worked up a systematic way of analyzing options--Leaps in particular. I am now a firm believer in DIM's. I was astonished at the slim and non existant benefits of OTM's vs DIM's. This, so far is my most mportant option discovery. I give you credit for peaking my curiosity in this subject. I guess marketing exists everywhere and sucker deals abound.
