"max pain" Petz John- Please give us some "max pain" info as April expiration closes in. I used your info to make some good moves on March's expiration. I'm sitting on 26 April 60's, so they should be in play. Although, if there's a huge run up, I might dump them after/before earnings. I'd still like to know what happens to the "max pain" theory as I have July and January options as well. My guess, I'll probobly roll my April's into future options. thanks for the info, chic

I did find it curious that a major broker initiated coverage with a strong buy and an $85 target -- saying "they have the microprocessor products to effectively compete across both the "value" and "performance" segments" -- if, in fact, the Spitfire is over 3 months away. Either K6-2+ is real at 600 MHz (good) or Spitfire is early (better). Petz, It could be too that the analyst is looking ahead to the last 2 quarters of the year.....those are the busiest quarters for Intel and AMD. He may only care that AMD have things covered during that time period. After all this next quarter is the slowest and has the least impact on annual revenues. I say all this because I don't think spitfire will be early and I thought the K6-2+ is dead. ted
