Re xlnx and altr: Very similar to jnpr and fdry for performance .Its a wild ride today and everyone has to handle what they throw at you. NTE got hit I suppose because it was supposed to split today (of record), with shares mailed out about the 7th. Nobody understands those Canadians and I would chew out whoever wrote that POS. So MAYBE it splits ABOUT the 7 th, but who knows. Last week I was into fdry, this week in jnpr and but are all over the board, Big waves. Today fdry does better Then I have more in beas than in those stocks, and beas is lagging somewhat. There are some huge opportunites available here, with fdry up $1, my good Teva on a roll, a near $4 bounce in NTE, but as Keith says you can win and lose on the same stock My luck held and i sold the call yesterday for 700% profit in two days, then lost $2/sh on the stock today. But overall a bullish attitude is important, as money is coming back into the market. The bears work hard to bring it down, but dont have to power they once did and stocks often recover at the end of a poor day. The public is still uncertain and taking profits too soon, only to have the stock go higher. . Makes it very difficult for us to share useful trading info find a certain way to handle a stock except perhaps with a long term attitude. I guess just mentioning the name lets others check into the opportunities it holds. Regards Sig IGT splits tomorrow and therefore I have to sell it ? I dont think I can do that. Its torture , why do they do that to us, every call will become 4 calls, and will probably go to $30 a share and I will make a fortune. But if I sell I wont make a fortune, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee .

To use different words: Cannot say a trader should not take and protect profits. But the change in the markets means one should be wary that the stock can continue up, even on the same day others are taking profits in the morning. Cant do everything perfect, so perhaps one should take some profits, keep some shares, be more inclined to buy dips than in the past. I have tried several times to load up the wagons, buy 10 or 20 cheap calls Sometimes get a double but nothing outstanding yet. I do better with a few expensive ones. Sig
