Dealie, Thanks for doing what you do. There seems to be a lot of sad faces around here. No matter how bad things get, you never let on how it effects you. You are the one constant around this wonderful place. Even though many of us around here may not feel like talking stocks because of the way the market has been treating us, you continue to bring us the news and are willing to joke around or respond to anyone looking for a reply. It's appreciated. You are special. I know we will all get through this. Most us do. I just want you to know that there are many of us who look forward to read what you are putting up there. Your brother and you are a wonderful team. I can't tell you how much I've learned here. Tell Vster that I still have faith in him and that my angels are telling me all is going to be well. Don't let the bastards bring him down. And once again, thanks for doing what you do. Sincerely, Clappy P.S. V, ICNTYHMYMTU

I gave up and sold all my SSTI shares in the low 20's. Can't watch it go down any further. Next time 10% loss will be enough. Any point in holding the sold-puts for Jan at 30? Freeus

<font color=Red>AFTERHOURS QUOTES & EARNINGS REPORT DATES (after quotes) Voltaire's Porch Basket of Stocks These Stock Have Not Been Picked By Any One Individual GORILLA--A company that controls it market because it has a discontinuous innovation ,one that is not compatible with existing systems. The market is in a hyper growth stage, and they control the architecture. There is a high switching cost to using some other company's product, KING--The Market leader, properly with a two-times lead or better over its closest competitor. If the lead shrinks too far, the king becomes a prince, and we have a kingless market. Because they lack architectural control, and because switching costs are low, they cannot force competitors onto the defensive the way Microsoft, Intel, or Cisco can. Compaq is a king. Seagate is a king of hard drives. A lot of study has been done on these stocks by the Gorilla and Kings thread.
