Nobody like to hold a position over the weekend, expecially the day traders.

Sign me up for AMD at $100 on May 15, 2000 to coincide with an announcement that AMD expects revenues in 2Q 2000 to match or exceed 1Q 2000 revenues.

chic re:taxes-"Right now, I'm working on a way to roll my April options in to July/October/Jan options. I have to come up with the best way to avoid taxes this year." How can you avoid paying taxes by rolling options into later dates? A gain on a sale is taxable is it not, even if you buy back similar or identical assets? If you exercise options or get them exercised against you, you an add (or deduct) their value into the stock you gained, but that is the only tax delay I know of. Bill Jackson I think mentioned in Canada you can sell a stock and buy it back within a certain time frame and carry/defer the gains, but not here in the states. Did I misunderstand? steve
