See what I mean? SUNW's stock has been treated like a PC stock, yet people still have expectations that they should blow away the numbers. They come out with revenues up 44% a tad light and the stock doesn't budge. MSFT warns, lowers the bar and comes out with 8% revenue growth and it's running up in after hours on top of the 15 points it's already rallied off the lows!

No. I will own shares that are worth less money. And I agree with Craig Crawford about MSFT. It amazes me that they come out in line with lowered estimates and rocket up. I may take Craig off my ignore list....nah. --QS

Charlie, I know that you will be pleased that I am starting (barely) to get a bit bullish on equities (although I have never been anything but bullish on Scotty and the boys - even during periods that I owned no SUNW stock) ... I just bought 1,000 shares @ $34.00 after-hours after listening to Mike Lehman's part of the conference call ... that gives me 2,000 @ an average cost of $45.43 ... ... on the other hand, I bought a June, 2001 S&P 500 'put' today, which is the first half of a straddle I will fill shortly ... I still have two March, 2001 S&P 500 'puts' that I will sell sometime this month ... plus my big position in Abiomed ... expect great news there (and soon) ...
