by walking into the nearest Merrill office and tell them you just put 77% of your holdings in Qcom and see what they. The analysis will come back real quick, YOU'RE A NUT! <g> FWIW, it was my Merrill broker who spent 1/2 hour last spring convincing me to buy Q. I had looked at it and said something like "Don't think so, looks like it's already had its runup". He prevailed, bless his soul <bg> On the other hand, when I put 10% of the portfolio on Jan 400 calls back in November, with Q at 340, I could see him turning purple, right over the phone, like he was swallowing his tongue. A treasured moment <VBG> But yes, you're right, most brokers Merrill or otherwhere, would consider us all fools soon to be parted from our money. That's their problem, though I do feel bad about the rest of the small investors getting constantly screwed during this market :-( - Dway
