I'm gonna escort you to the woodshed by your ear, young man!!! (How's that for discipline? <ggg>) I'm aware of your love-hate relationship with GMST, but why CTXS right now? It broke through major support at $40 this morning. (Not that a chart ever stopped me from doing something stupid. I bought CSCO calls yesterday....) PS: It took me a minute to figure out your sign-off "tekboy@willheneverlearn????.com" I read it as "will hen ever learn?" <g>

STOP THE PRESSES! shocking news...first known sighting...an options trade that actually worked! xsqlh, CTXS Dec 40 calls... bought 5/10 for 12 3/4 sold 5/30 for 17 1/2 pre-tax gain: 37% post-tax gain: oh, call it 20% yes, I guess it can be done... :0) P, should have listened to you and sold the day of the Fed meeting and made even more, but even that was a good lesson on sell discipline... of course, one reason I closed it out now was to raise cash to buy some 03 Q LEAPS on the dip, which promptly ran away from my limit order, but such is life... tekboy@wait,somethingIdidmademoney?gottabeamistake.com
