JC - I was supporting Yaacov's statements, nothing more. I am a long term buy and hold investor - just not in SUNW. I freely admit (and have done so since I started posting here) that I am trading SUNW options, not the stock. I have always done this on the "long" side - i.e. calls and LEAPs - but I don't consider an option position as a long term holding, even though I have held LEAPs for years in some cases. This is because options always have a time horizon, the stock does not. I doubt that my posts could affect the price of any stock by a penny, so I try to speak my mind. I do have some notions about investment strategy and options plays, which are admittedly just the ramblings of a guy who treats investing as a hobby. Also they are just my opinions and not investment advice. Anyone who follows investing strategies from a message board, even a good one like this, without doing his or her own analysis is riding for a fall. With a few rather obvious exceptions we're all amateurs in this game. But I wonder why you and some other posters seem so concerned about my expressing my opinions? Surely you have your own reasons for your SUNW investment, which I'm sure have nothing to do with any opinions I have offered. It seems a little strange.
