BWAC, I just now asked $0.50 for the Feb$30 NVLS calls and they sold immediately. What does that mean? [other asks are at $0.55, bid at $0.50 now - up from $0.45]

NVLS I hope it breaks the downtrend to finally signal they have fixed their problems AND they are participating in increased orders that LRCX is seeing. Getting SFAM's CMP running could be the ticket. stockcharts.com[580,460]wacayyay[d19980101,20061231][pb40!b10!a28!a21!f][vc60][iUb14!Lc20]&pref=G If it can't break above that blue line, test it from above then breakout for good... then I'd hold off buying for 20-22 Of course, as of now, I don't own any and am happy with LRCX and smaller positions in UTEK and AMAT. AMAT is testing a SIMILAR downtrend line from below but you have to toss out the 2000 peak to see this. If $ returns to large cap tech, I think more would go to the #1 name, AMAT, than NVLS... I see them as similar investments... both working through problems including over paying insiders with stock options... should have dumped my AMAT as soon as I learned they gave splinter 1$ options. Even now, I'm still tempted to dump and buy some of the small caps I put $ into last year and am up a good amount already... but I'm not sure if changing a strategy that has worked so well for me for so long should be abandoned. Also, why pay taxes on AMAT gains I have as it is just to try and get similar expected gains elsewhere?
