Options are more illiquid than common. I don't think that's a "back door", esp. as MM's will expand the spreads quickly. Options on TERN worked because the rise was bigger percentagewise and longer timewise. Gilder will probably need to tout something much more schlocky than A in order to get that kind of effect again. That might be a pretty good carrot. OSIS "karat".

Golly, I had to dust off my French dictionary for that free-for-all. For a moment, I thought it was similar to diarrh‚e de la bouche. You are correct--BS

Dennis, Re: "Anyhow, this whole foire d'empoigne every time the newsletter appears these days is a bunch of bs imho" On the other hand, it is not BS at all, but very real and serious stuff I can't like- but very real it is, not BS in that limited sense at all! In his recent WSJ article, he characteristically made fun of the uninformed investing "herd" which runs up his picks, and other stocks for other reasons. AnalYst upgrades? Gilder is, after all, an analyst. He's stuck with that unless he quits, I reckon. I agree..it's BS and too bad. Gee, I remember when his whole portofolio of picks was largely underwater, back about a year ago last fall as I recall. Dang. Times have changed. Never-the-less, only long term performance will prove anything of any real significance, and the short-run market could continue taking Tech. down, including Aligent. Dan B
