Amazing about this kraft IPO thing....In agonized all weekend long because my broker said I may be able to get up to 1000 shares.......So all weekend, I did DD, ran numbers...wen't back and forth...then decided to say screw it and just grab 100 at the ipo price...no biggie.....if she does well, I at least have a few shares....if not, I can average down on a great company....so after all that agonizing I now can't even get 100 shares....sheez...me and my big mouth.....my broker said she was told to save it for very select clients with a few exceptions.....I was gonna be one of those exceptions <ggg>....but I told her not to worry about it if it was a big deal.....she sent me an e-mail and said she had others more enthusiastic for it and since I told her I could take it or leave it, she chose to give my shares to somebody else......I guess i should have made myself more clear......I told her I would gladly take 100 shares......but didnt care about getting anymore....I guess she misread me...lots a folk do that <ggg>....oh well....I guess we can rest assured that kraft IPO will be a big winner simply cause I got left out <ggg>

I subscribe to IBD and they have a"stock checkup" site. They have the Optical sector as an E of course since it is in the depths of dispair right now. But in the sector they have OCPI as number one, best in technicals, best in fundamentals, best in attractiveness and best overall. I assume the optical sector is only ill and not permanently dead. I hope my assumption is correct. Didn't want to sell sebl and beas at a loss so sold cov calls on them for a little income. Also bought some mntg...should get four points out of it I guess. But this is a horrid market and I'm looking forward to next year or the year after (have to look long term these days, right?). Freeus
