xlnx bot 300 @ 30.10. Short term. Looks like a bad entry already.

XLQAG XLNX Jan 05 35.000 Call XILINX, INC Sold To Close 20@0.75 (Loss $9,900 on this leg of the straddle) Lifting a leg on an early straddle position where I sold out of the money puts to buy out of the money calls on a stock I was very bullish on. I decided not to wait around for these calls to expire worthless, even though these next two months are normally bullish. The redeeming feature of this trade is that I pocketed $8,800 for selling 20 Jan 05 25 puts. Message 18988284 This straddle was a low risk bet on a prediction made by Cary that XLNX would reach 60 by Jan '05. If he had been right, I would have made $58,800. So it's not unjust that I lose $1,100 for being wrong. I took the hare approach and lost. Cary is the tortise and recognized all along that his timing could be off. Still, it was a pretty low risk bet. Sam
