I sure hope rmbs does something....Yes, I know how volatile it is, but as of now, it looks like a major blunder on my part to sell all my qcom calls and half my shares the day of earnings when qcom was at $64, and exchange them for rmbs stock and calls. Qcom looks solid as a rock, the stock is up $20 from my sell price and the calls are up considerably as well. meanwhile, rmbs keeps trending lower and lower...the may 75's are now cheaper then what I paid for my may 100's ( 66% down currently ) while my may 100's are down 50+%. I know how quickly things can change however, and hope in this case, rmbs catches up...frankly, I feel as though I am too exposed to rmbs right now, therfor I am not averging down on the calls...not selling them...but not buying any more either. Hope the FUD on RMBS gets over with and hope jdsu makes a nice run after this election crap and clsoing of sdli deal.....keith

Agreed V, gambler's bottom feel is here...longs are despondent and the hedge-fund shorts have not been this aggressive in years...I was berated by some other Hedgies yesterday for accumulating longs instead of getting short. As you know from my first presence here, we were short the secondary dot.coms....that play is over and they are properly burned down, now time for the real deals to rock!
