Unless the game is tied, bottom of the ninth, bases loaded and there are two outs. Then BB(Base on Balls) wins the game!<gg>

Tito, I just took a swing at a curve ball thrown by the bears. While I wasn't trying to swing for the fences, I was hoping for at least a "triple". Just got 10 of those Jan 2000 AMAT Call 20 (LPJAD) @ 19. Let see, if AMAT somehow fights and claws its way back up to around 40 before Jan 22, 2000, I'll break even (that's about 7 points up from now.) If it gets to 60 before Jan 2000, it's at least a "double". If AMAT gets to 80 before Jan 2000, I'll turn that swing into a triple. And if AMAT gets to 100 before 2000 (and splits in Oct 1999 as scheduled [g]), I'll stretch that into an inside-the-park home run. And for me to strike out and lose all my capital, I guess somebody (NVLS? LRCX?) would have to put a serious dent into AMAT's market share to make it stay below 20 in Jan 2000. TB
