MB: Our lists are similar. HWP, a company I admired for many years, appears to be well on the way to an IBM-type transformation, courtesy of their slick (and slimey) new female head honcho (have you caught her latest comments?). IBM, is going to drop a real clanger on the street with this quarter's numbers, and the remainder of the box builder/semi gang will strangle on the nasty combination of massive inventories (both finished goods and components) and mediocre demand. Now as far as timing the Put purchases,...... I'll stay in the weeds for a bit yet, in spite of the insect bites, and itchy trigger finger. (g) I've never been consumed with "Fed Watching", but have been paying close attention to their daily activities this Fall. I intend to use the first indication of "draining" as a reason to acquire initial positions. Big Al has got both left and right nipples well and truly into the wringer this time around. Best, Earlie

To All, Everyone I ask has had a similar experience with healthquick.com orders using the $15 off coupon, and shipping was free for a $20 order. Except mine was a bit better <g>: They sent out two orders of exactly the same thing to those who ordered. I don't know if they charged credit cards twice or not, but, in the case of everyone I know, $20 worth of stuff for $5 is worth the money and they'll take the second shipment even if they are dunned an extra $5. My experience was that I received two orders. However, one item I ordered was not available, so they credited my card with the difference of about $5. Which means I got a double order for, at worst, free, and, possibly, I made $5 on the deal. If so, I'll send them the money back. But they'll have to pry the merchandise out of my cold, dead, greedy fingers. <g>
