Your post on ETA just answered my question: Does it have options? I'd checked a while back, when you first brought ETA here, and the answer was "no". I'll be looking to buy some Feb ETA calls tomorrow. I agree with your intuition about the stock being held down until the options were available.

Basically I'm in EXDS, NTAP, QCOM, CSCO, JDSU, a couple of small stocks that nobody's heard of ('cept you, of course<g>) and a speculative position in IDC. That's about as many stocks that I feel comfortable with at one time. I still have a fair amount of cash, so let's see what tomorrow brings.... bp
