Oh man, I do feel sorry for you. I too purchased, but not options, and didn't get out at the early 2002 highs(or near highs). I bought NTAP about 6.5 and SEBL near 13 and sold none. I have bought more of both, respectively, in the last month and will continue to add to my positions. Even now I feel the pull to buy LEAPS but the very likely prospect of hostilities with Iraq, and my wife's displeasure, prevent me. TRIO

Sorry to hear it, Jacob. I was rooting for you, and it looked like you were going to kick Mr. Market's butt. The problem for all of us has been the end game. It's proven to be incredibly tough for big winners to leave the table. uf

Boy, have I done that more than once. And then, having learned my lesson, I have sold some or all on the next move up, only to watch it keep going-not with NTAP, but with a variety of other stocks. That's one of the reasons I like SELLING options. It gives me another choice to at least soften the blow. Just so you don't think I'm some sort of smart guy, I'm still holding some 03 LEAPS on LSI which will expire worth less than that roll of toilet paper in my bathroom, barring divine intervention. ARS
