Hey All, Anyone starting to look at ROST again? They got revised down a bit (1 cent), but looks a 17% increase over last year, and they have been hit hard recently. I got in on that last swing in the $13 range, and made some profit getting called out at 15 on its way back up. Price is still too rich in the 15s, but anything in the low 14s, high 13s, with its low P/E and short term chart could be a quick profit. Anyone else know some info that would keep them away from this stock @ 14? Ryan

BUY LEAP JAN O1 25'S UMPAEfor 12 1/4 (37 1/4 "nut" not including comm. and 6 mo's to see it rise 2 points for breakeven . . more or less (*BUT THE OI IS ONLY "5") MY/OUR INTENT IS TO SELL THE OCT 21,2000 40'S WHICH APPEAR TO PAY 4 1/8 CC PREMIUM. ARE WE BETTER OFF DOING JAN O1 30'S UMPAF @ 9 5/8 (39 5/8 "NUT") and have the same 6 mo's but it has to rise to40'ish for A BREAKEVEN)(*BUT THE OI IS 103 ON THIS ONE) OBVIOUSLY THE "OVERHEAD IS LOWER ON THE JAN 01 25'S, SO WHAT GIVES? IS THERE SOMETHING OBVIOUS THAT I AM OVERLOOKING? WHY DOES THE "CROWD" WANT THE 30'S INSTEAD? I WOULD THINK, ASIDE FROM THE INITIAL OVERHEAD, I AM ALSO BETTER W/ THE 25'S (?)

Hello All, I'm wondering if anyone has seen a stock screen program that let's one search by BB attributes. I would love to be able to search for stocks that are trading near the bottom band. Thanks, mark
