Chris -- if they had Sellers 'wish' on this list it would certainly be for more options. Requested price $0.17 with taxes paid by the company... CEO Christmas List 2001: A Motley Fool Exclusive In a major scoop, our Alaskan correspondent has gained exclusive access to Santa Claus' 2001 CEO Christmas present list. Santa Claus Enterprises (Ticker: YULE) has refused to verify the authenticity of the list, but heck, that's never stopped us before. A source close to Claus Enterprises confirmed that such a list exists, and generally contains a mixture of "what the child wants and what we think the child deserves." Asked about the propriety of calling some of the titans of industry "children," the source snapped, "well, what would YOU call them?" Some of the highlights of the list include: Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. (NYSE: NWS): A professional baseball team. David Wetherell, CMGI (Nasdaq: CMGI): A calculator. Joseph Berardino, Arthur Andersen: An "I'm with stupid" t-shirt. Larry Ellison, Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) A chia pet. It's the closest thing to "Bill Gates' scalp" that we could find. Steve Ballmer, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT): Tap shoes and dancing lessons. William Clay Ford, Ford (NYSE: F): A quarterback and a new set of tires. Meg Whitman, eBay (NYSE: EBAY): Another shot at Item #837249. Man, those last minute bid snipers are good. Ken Lay, Enron (NYSE: ENE): Coal, with a debt swap attached so that in six months he will owe us $727 million for it. C. Michael Armstrong, AT&T (NYSE: T): A sledgehammer. John Creighton, United Airlines (NYSE: U): Nothing. As if $10 billion from the government weren't enough... Jeffery Immelt, General Electric (NYSE: GE): An autographed copy of "From the Gut," by Jack Welch. Henry Schacht, Lucent (NYSE: LU): A life preserver. Carly Fiorina, Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HWP): A copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Bernard Ebbers, WorldCom (Nasdaq: WCOM): A subscription to TMF Money Advisor. Michael Kowalski, Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF): Six Christmases a year. Charles Schwab, Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH): A new bull market. Joe Nacchio, Qwest (NYSE: Q): Humility. Nahhhhh. More of the same! Henry Blodget & Mary Meeker: 1998 Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN): What Henry & Mary said. Michael Eisner, Disney (NYSE: DIS): Shrek II. Steve Jobs, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL): Microsoft settlement includes agreement for Microsoft to provide inner city schools shiny new Macintoshes. Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A): Paint, underwear, bricks, and carpet. Oh, wait, that's last year's list. All I Want for Christmas... How about a REAL CEO @ scln?

No news,,, esp no bad news and like a true POS the ask is low at pre-open. Of course that gets the bid down, LOL! It is unusual, w/o bad news, for a company to have a pre-open bid 3% lower than the last close... Still there can be an UPside close-- long way to go today,, but do not hold your breath,, OPEN and 7 sales for 2K shares then sale #8 was UNDER the bid! Someone is flushing quick-- maybe Sellers is a seller AGAIN and feels now is a great time to unload.. STILL a long time to go today,,
