Congrads Andrew on your wise moves... But I am still of the belief one should be careful about posting how many and how much one has of anything. Remember this thread can be seen by the entire planet. ENTIRE. Besides, there is a reason the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition sells so well... there is an attraction to secrets unrevealed. Rick

I chose to exercise the calls today and add the 4000 shares to my storehouse of QCOM because I continue to believe that QCOM has a great future. I'm curious, if you think Qcom has a great future, why did you exercise them for common instead of buying 2002 leaps and getting some more leverage?

I exercised today, even though I had until the 22nd of this month. I don't like to push the limits. Congrats on your 4000 shares! $35 a share sounds better than $155. I've got a few Jan 2002 40s I hope to exercise in about 2 years. You wouldn't have had any problem exercising on Friday, the 21st. It's never a good idea to exercise options early. I'm sure it won't make a hill of beans of difference to you, but even parking the $140,000 you paid in a daily savings account for 11 days would get you $168.00. Not a big deal, but some folks exercise months before they should.
