Lee: SUNW @ 26 cents and McNealy gave good forward guidance (I heard his comments from a CNBC report so it may have their slant to it)

L3_aka_L3 I think this was just a calculated act to get the people who retired early back into the work force. A month ago the put call ratio was severe. I am long Cymer (one example) and the calls out numbered the puts for April, May and Aug 50s by ~ 1000. It was a classic contrarian set-up. Now I work in the SEMI industry (> 16 years) and it's a no brainer that the sector as a whole is doing better then it ever has in my history of it. A serious question I have pondered for some time. If Cymer in the case of my example above was to have risen to a level it was destined to (say 65 - 70) with the market mentality of say six weeks ago. Who would have been hurt next Friday when option expire? Was there any benefit to anyone in particular to bring the market down before options expiration? Thanks for the consideration, Jeff...
