Hey Joel!! How is the doc doing?? Everything going pretty good out here in CA. If ELON would have even a small run I would be happy about the market. Jumped on the SSTI bandwagon on Wed for the July prem. Just couldn't pass it up. Anyway just saying hello. Where the helI is Coonaz???? I have spoke with him a few time and told him to get his lazy A$$ off the course or wherever he is hiding and start posting again!!! Almost have enough points on our AMEX for that new Calloway driver. Then I will rule the long drive's!!!!! Fairways and Greens my friend.. -Danny (stole that one from a small movie, anyone know it??)

Joel, Agree 100% on the bloated pig theory. Some may come back with the ltb&h theory, but bottom line is I think it's best to at least take profits occasionally for protection. Yes, 5 years from now, qcom may be much higher, but I still think we would all be best if we learned to take some profit occasionally. When Qcom was at 150, cmgi 200 aol 100 and etc, I should have been selling at least some, if even only small amounts. Instead, the greed factor took over and I, like most others bought instead of sold. I also agree not to sell too soon, but at the same time, I have no idea "what too soon" is anymore. As I said, I am slowly lessening the load. Sold the last of my sndk calls into the rally, sold half my vign calls, sold all my qcom calls except leaps. Everything else I own is covered, except for IARC which I am trying to accumulate. I kind of want o be in a position over the next 2 months where a major drop wont hurt too bad, while at the same time, if we go higher, I am still in the game. So basically, I am staying off margin and staying away from the bloated pigs. INTCfan - ......can you say that ten times fast ? <ggg> Seriously, it could be that what we get is a series of headfakes, simply because everybody is sitting waiting to sell, and waiting to buy back.
