>> the price of IOM has fluctuated enough from day to day and from week to week to provide ample opportunity for shrewd day-traders and options players like Truflette (who has far more stomach for that kind of thing than I do) to pocket some nice money at the same time that they amaze, entertain, and enlighten the long-term investing tortoises like Jack Knudsen (sic) and me. << Amen to that fellow plodder! Actually, I've been finding Ira's approach to selling covered calls to be very interesting. If my plodding investing style ever gets legs, that's the route I think I would go. Trufflette and the Trader's day-to-day stunts <g> remind me too much of a group of crazies I used to sky dive with way back when. A day of jumping didn't prouduce enough of an adrenaline rush for them unless it included at least one low-pull contest . . . the psyche move for which was to just use their reserve since no one who had time to dump a main would be low enough to win. Crazy. Still long, still holding, and plodding profitably onward.

on the subjet as to why all these companies came out in support of clik!, the answer is that they all will get a piece of the pie. i predict that it will be big, and all these companies will benefit from it. that is the main reazon that they are all behind it. clik! will become the standard because it will be supported by all peripherals. about two or three years later you will see a bunch of copycats trying to emulate the clik! something like that we are seing with the zip, one after another zip wan to be. TOO LATE FOR THEM.
