>>I bought a slug of calls on them at the beginning of March. The following earnings report was lackluster, and I watched them expire worthless in May. It's hard to get enthusiastic about a possible upcoming tornado given that history.

just a question--did you buy a lot of calls in early March that didn't expire worthless?

Based on very positive expectations posted here, I bought a slug of calls on them at the beginning of March. The following earnings report was lackluster, and I watched them expire worthless in May.

and people wonder where I get it from!

re: WIND

Might I suggest you search in the November/December time period to review that discussion, or ask Sir Chartmeister directly

I'll save saukriver the effort <gg>. As I recall there was a lot of noise on the thread at the time about WIND and it's G&K characteristics. And because UF has created this thread to be self-sufficient and to run semi-democratically (right Frank? ;o), I went ahead and added it to the Watch list. But I admit that the standards for entry into my list are much less stringent than those for the GKI, and for a good reason. The W&W is designed to be a feeder to the GKI. But we've all read the FAQ...

Cheers from the cold side of the pond...

P.S. Merlin, what are you doing in an internet cafe while you're on vacation! I thought the point of vacation was to get away from it all <gg> :)
