<font color=Red>AFTERHOURS 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.

Hang in there, Dealer! Just think 6 months from now. Things will be a lot better I think. If you are still buying options, remember to buy yourself some time, as you know, and if they turn against ya, don't ride them into the dirt. Get out to preserve capital. In this mess, set your stops tighter, and watch the entries. Make it come to you. I oftentimes will have low ball offers out there all day that don't hit until right at the closing bell. MOO! RR
