Good morning (yes it is morning) Cowgirl. Funny thing, Never listen to a brother in law! When qcom was takin a whippin' (which caused me to sicken), he kept on telling me why stick with that loser. I dumped a small portion at 60 and change. Of course I had to be the one to find the bottom. Fortunately I still have a number of calls and leaps as well as stock left over. One of the better things that I did(n't) do today was to sell cc's on my rambus which I just bought back at 90, after losing 6000 shares by selling the june 62.5's. Lost 26 points of additional profit in one day only! Ouch Ouch Ouch!!! Sometimes I get a little carried away with CC's. Maybe we should have a thread called "Options Anonymous". Please help me before I sell the calls again. As it is said "....a mind is a terrible thing..." It's funny how I can do joint implants and bone grafts without a second thought. Now sheetrock, now thats another story. Guess I'll have to watch 6 hours of hometime or Bob Vila to get my courage up. I always thought that it would be great if Bob Vila came out with a medical plastic surgery program on the Health Channel called "This Old Broad". "...while Norm is doing the tummy tuck, lets check out those sagging boobs. Perhaps even better, is doing a this old house live crom Chernobyl. "...while Norm is loading the Plutonium, lets go see how those containment vessels are doing..." Love that aftermarket action on RMBS. Funny, on a day like today, it was one of those rare moments where the stocks that I held gave no indication that there was a down market. BRCM, RMBS, QCOM, JDSU, CREE, Lets hear it for the techs now... David
