"particulars"

on may 10, 1996, i bought 15 nov 96 55 dollar call contracts of stratacom, inc at 7 dollars each for a total cost of 10,500 dollars. on november 18, 1996, i exercised my option for 1500 shares of cisco (stratacom had merged into cisco) for a cost of approximately 83,000 dollars (on margin, putting up no additional cash). after splits, i now have 13,000 of cisco.

need i go through the entire list?

regards
