Thanks......I have no idea what I am going to do with the Q. I have a couple of leaps and, stupidly a few long shares I bought the otherday when the patents were upheld and it looked like the Q was back. Naturally, I bouth at the absolute high of $70, so I am now way underwater with those shares as well. I should have known. My brain was going "wait til after earnings", but my balls were going " I want revenge", and didnt want to miss Q running upward. So for now, I think I'll just wait. If it drops considerably, i'll add to the long shares I just bought, if it goes up...well, I'll just breathe a sigh of relief. I bought some JDSU at 122 an after hours yesterday.....I sure hope it makes a nice run. I have some shares now covered with Jan 170's, but I think I will let these new ones sit uncovered for awhile. Lastly, dont ask me why I didnt buy qcom at $55 instead of $70 or JDSU at $80 instead of $122.....I have few answers except that I am trying to buy when things look positive...so I end up buying on the way up, rather then the way down. This goes against my old psychology of buy low, buy when it's dropping like a rock.....anyway, lets see what the market brings for the next 6months. Hopefully Tom is right and Naz runs wild for rest of year and qcom rights it's wavering ship. Keith
