<<Does anyone have any thoughts on ADBE I picked some up at 35.56 >> Careful George.....didn't you mention margin call this morning?? Hope you liquidated some funds and reduced that margin....your the second guy in a week that mentioned he had a margin call, and then later in the day he said he was buying........please be careful. I too am on margin, and tempted to go further on margin as there is plenty I would like to buy and my margin % is not too bad....but like I said before, if we keep falling, the margin % will keep rising......leave yourself a buffer, as I am attempting to do. I'd rather not buy and miss an up move, then buy and be forced to sell at a loss due to margin....what i have left, I want to hold.....I think 10 years fron ow jdsu is much higher then 43, atml higher then 14, qcom higher then 80, sunw higher then 25 and etc, etc.....It would be a shame to be forced to sell due to a margin call......be careful.....my once very small margin % is growing quickly day by day as my main holdings nosedive. I am buying a few things, but am selling one thing to buy another....trying not to let the margin monster get hold of me.........have a good weekend

George...I let the others put the warning on you about margin. As for ADBE. I started working professionally with their products in 1986. Was fortunate to get in on the IPO. That said, I would not rush to build a position in the company. While their management is sound and their core line of products are great, that is as far as it goes. They've not had, as it pertains to my business, a new product rollout that is meaningful in terms of building the company in a very long time. Be careful.
