I remember a discussion y'all were having awhile back about home delivered groceries. I tried Home Grocer out today and I Love them. I'll never go to the grocery store again. I had some trepidation about the produce, but it was better than anything I can buy at the local grocery. They get all their produce from the Farmers Market here in LA, which is the best. Plus they included a free bag of fruits and veggies that were fabulous. The best part of it was that someone else carried all the water bottles, Pepsi cans (for when Tom comes over) canned soups and such and especially the kitty litter up the stairs (my kitchen's on the second floor). Tom asked what the premium was and I really couldn't tell because I didn't compare individual items. I spent over $100 less than when I go to the market and I think that was because there was no impulse buying. Also, the delivery boy said that they can't accept tips. I don't know much about the stock but I think their service is great and I'll use them again. Sitting in my chair making selections beats pushing that cart up and down aisles any day.

This from Schwab: Implied volatility of CISCO SYSTEMS rose as the stock lost ground ahead of fiscal third-quarter earnings due on Tuesday. "The Barron's article was the forerunner in my mind," said designated primary market maker Patrick Hamilton at LETCO with the Chicago Board Options Exchange. "I think the interesting thing is that the article did not shed any new light on Cisco that people don't already know," he said. Hamilton noted implied volatility for the May 65 calls stood at around 81 percent, up 10 percent from Friday. (Reuters 01:42 PM ET 05/08/2000) For the full text story, see infobeat.com
