Julius: Good for you - but I'm glad you arb guys are out of the picture now! Having taken some profits on COMS options on 7/14, bought them back on 7/18, and picked up the COMSV on 7/19, I'm hopeful for a better than 25% return overall, but this market decline may sink that hope. May bail the options tomorrow if things don't look any better, but I still intend to hold the COMS for $15-$20 and the trading PALM for $45+. OT: The arb position on SDLI got as high as 30% yesterday, but it's around 23% now, a great return if you think the deal will go through as I do. I have an arb position at around 22%, but I also own SDLI and JDSU, have to figure out the best overall strategy. And QCOM/Spinco looks like another promising spin off. Lots to think about but no rush. Good luck. David T.
