Full disclosure I'm an "options junkie". I graduated college in August of 1999, so I don't have that much money to invest. I figured what's the point of buying a few hundred shares when I can buy options to 5000 shares? In my account, this is all I have. In another account, I have "safer" stocks. My partner in the other account is terrified of options and companies she hasn't heard of. my AMD calls Feb. 14th - 10 April 60's - $1.375 Feb. 18th - 10 April 60's - $1.375 Feb. 18th - 7 July 45's - $8.125 Feb. 22nd - 10 July 60's - $3 Mar. 2nd - 7 January 70's - $3.50 Mar. 17th - 6 April 60's - $3 Before a certain person on this thread accuses me of being another AMD huckster, I would like to say I plan to execute all of my July options, 1700 shares. The rest will depend on how things play out over the year. I am looking forward to getting bashed by pauL though!!! :) chic "The box said 'windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux" "Linux, Window NT, and Windows 98; the good, the bad, the ugly"

I finally had to join... I've been lurking on this thread since November. chic, Welcome to the thread....its a little quiet today....a lot stayed up for the 100000th post. I think there was an after the 100000th post party as well...I think they got a little f*cked up. As you all will notice, I'm an IBMer. Before anyone asks, I'll answer the question. Yes, the rumors are flying that our engineers have sampled something that would make Andy Grove "cringe". Keep in mind this is just a rumor. But isn't it a little ironic that there's rumors flying about an AMD chip when everyone knows we are sampling Iranium and Willy? I am a little slow....is IBM sampling spitfire or some other AMD chip? I think AMD is causing A. Grove and C. Barrett to cringe a lot no matter the circumstances. BTW I am not from your homeland.......sorry. ted

Chic Re..<<<<<<< I'll be making a few posts over the games today. How about those Badgers? Are there any other good guys from the homeland on this thread? >>>>>>>>>>> Chis, Hi great to hear from another badger. We have snuck up on the big boys just like AMD did to Intel.. However just like AMD. Wis. may just spring another surprise upon us. <<<<< As you all will notice, I'm an IBMer. Before anyone asks, I'll answer the question. Yes, the rumors are flying that our engineers have sampled something that would make Andy Grove "cringe". Keep in mind this is just a rumor I am not certain which chip you are talking about here. Power4 or another chip. Could you expand on this if possible? Harry
