A. Great story. I agree that some institutions may want to keep their staff from wandering off the pathway. Too bad, huh? RE: MY BROKER....I have enjoyed educating my brother-in-law who is a broker at Pru Sec. He didn't know much about fiber optics, G Gilder and G&K investing until he started looking at some of my trades. Guess what inquiring minds want to know? I have to hand it to him, he is taking this stuff more seriously and (no big surprise) he's become the local office expert in technology. BTW: I have to relate a remark made by one of my Bro in laws co-workers yesterday. I called to talk with a broker to take care of a RMBS trade (sold naked puts & closed out an NTAP put way out of the money). He asked me, "What is NTAP?" Oh, I replied, just a $30 billion tech company called Network Appliance. <ggg> He whistled, asked what they did and said he'd never heard of them. He did take notice when I said I had just pocketed a gain of 8,000. Take care and enjoy the weekend. rzw@headinfortheBigApple.com
