Thats not the question V-man. On January 19th you rah rah the stock and what its gonna do up to earnings. On January 27th, after your predictions turn out completely wrong, you make a new prediction based on what actually happened and say you knew it two weeks ago. The question is, if you knew why, why didn't you tell your loyal followers. Why instead did you paint a rosy picture of what the stock would do up to and at earnings when you knew it wasn't true? Don't bother to answer. Anyone with a functioning brain can figure this one out for themselves. By the way, todays downturn is NO BIG DEAL to me either. Q is by far my largest holding at an average price of $12.00/share (or a large negative number if you factor in what I've already harvested) Cheers to you and yours, bdog

I don't know Volty...glad to see you back here...yes, you said move into leaps to avoid near term volatility. I wish I'd sold all my damn calls on Jan 3 as you suggested, but in any case, I just got out of my Aprils today when Q was at 128. Skimmed a bit of profit out of them but nothing like what I could've gotten in early Jan. Anyway...I'm underwater on my 2001's (200s). You'd just ride it out? I feel like getting out of half of them, taking a loss, and either keeping the cash for a serious correction or putting them into JDSU. I've also got a few 2002s (125s) which I'm more than happy with. And now a lot of stock exercised at 82 1/2 which I might as well sell some covered calls on. What do you think? I'm posting this publicly since the answer might interest others as well.
