Dear Charles: Soup lines are no more. My Grandmother used to provide food to needy on the back porch during the Depression and up to 1941 prior to rationing. Today, one would probably be arrested or sued for doing same. jdn

Charles, surely you've taken my advice by now and loaded up on USPIX and URPIX and BEARX? USPIX is up over 60% (EDIT: oops, closer to 50%) this year, and shows no sign of stopping. I was selling some of my USPIX (it kept growing to too large a percentage of my portfolio), but bought it all back when they fell 20% a couple days ago. It popped up 11% the following day. A small nibble of USPIX would help you hedge your SUNW position. Ironically, I bought a little SUNW a few days ago (at $7.02, still a little bit underwater) to protect myself if the market has a big bear rally. A sort of hedge against my hedge, if you will. As an aside, what do you have against soup lines anyway? I'd imagine you could get some pretty good chow in a soup line. My favorite lunch comes from those Mexican roach coaches with "Mariscos" hand-painted on the side. Best fish tacos in the world. Dave
