Yep, I agree with you, L3. <<My main point is there are many others more deserving of suspensions than Poet. She is one of the few that will bend over backwards to help people unlike the ones that go unpunished and are only posting to drum up business for their own endevours.>> .. among other 'motives' that I observe some to possess here within SI ... such as rabid ego ... and power over other people, etc ... like to be 'big shots' who post only about alleged, at that, wins in the market. What I admire about Poet and people like her is the unhesitating willingness to say if she's wrong about a trade, etc. That's rather rare around here particularly among those who 'run threads.' BTW: Poet can receive PMs --- write her there, if you wish. Best regs, 'b-i-a' PS Did any of you short NEWP? LOL!! Man oh man ... I'm following this board 'religiously' <g> ... trying on occasion lately to 'play both sides' ... QQQ up and down is what I feel 'safest' with. I've some nice-looking puts on CIEN and RIMM ... holding puts makes me more nervous than any other method of trading ... LOL. ###

Did a buy write on NTAP today. In NTAP common at 42 and wrote Feb 40s at 5 3/4. Decided to not be greedy and go for the usual 45 strike for 3 and take the extra points to protect my back side in case I am wrong since CSCO reports tomorrow, NTAP has been very weak and they report Thursday. With so much premium even this deep, I figure if it runs up, I can always buy them back after premium erodes into intrinsic value and then roll out to a higher strike. Sold the last of my puts this morning also. I am now Long QQQ LEAP 40s for Jan 03 and hold this buy write. I will likely lay low until CSCO is a known from here. I have short term over sold signals on the QQQ, NDX, NASDAQ and a few stocks like EMC, SUNW, SANM, JNPR etc. We should try to do a bounce soon. I will be watching that bounce for signs of market weakness or strength. Good Luck, Lee
