Hi Eric, It's kind of interesting that you and I seem to play a lot of the same companies. I just traded some XYLN this morning. I was thinking about keeping it for awhile until I got to looking at the insider activity on it over the last month. Not the little chump change sales like the Novell guys do, but serious money. That doesn't always mean anything, but with the market being the way it's been the last few weeks, I've gotten kind of jumpy about protecting my investment capitol. I've got a pretty good case of pre earnings jitters with Novell right now and am working on "Plans C, D, & E" just in case. I still think they should be able to beat the numbers with ease, but with these guys there is always a big question mark. I may try to play the bounce on margin if they blow it. I also sold 20% of my NOVL this morning to free up some cash in case averaging down looks like the best bet. The company really should be turnaroundable but they sure are wasting a lot of time fixing the things that need to be fixed. I imagine waiting three years is a lot worse than the eight months that I've been fooling around with it. Regards, Don
