Nice move final hour on heavy volume. The Jan 2003 60 call options for around 4 1/2 still look attractive. This stock moves much higher from here over next 6-12 months, barring any catastrophes such as the Pegasos deal imploding.

But it works. I get the book out after hopping into bed, get a bright light [small print + aged eyes = spectacles], see the word Calabi-Yau and wake up some time later, switch off the light, planning to figure it out another day. The cat just sleeps all day. I think cats have the answer. It's 42, so just accept that and have a nap, Mq
