steve it wasn't a joke. I think cpq looks good also, but the tech sector is starting to look scary IMO. For example, I've seen tons of the hype tech stocks crash: cube asnd shva etc. But I haven't seen a stock considered a core hi-tech like orcl crash before. Of course, you've seen such stuff because you've seen cpq crash previously but I haven't. I think the market is going to look more like the 80's (when I didn't follow it) than the 90's, when stocks almost only went up. Amazing that you have puts on cpq. I didn't know that (haven't been following this thread that closely). When do you buy them and when do they expire? I hesitated too long and didn't do anything today with the market. If cpq doesn't gap up, which I half expect, then I may try to get in tomorrow. Still I'm amazed that all these warnings aren't scaring you at all. You obviously have a lot of confidence in what you're doing. Incidentally do you see any juicy shorts here. I think vrts and nt look overpriced and may buy puts on them soon. I don't think I've seen the new racquets you mentioned. They sound awesome. I'll have to go buy one. Any brand you'd recommend. (Is E-force the name of a racquet)? I'm better at tennis. I'm about a 4.0 and have a pretty fast serve when I can get it in (which isn't too often unfortunately). I find that I can't play singles the way I used to, after about one hour I'm pretty tired. What is your tennis rating (4.0 is advanced intermediate)? You sound like a real competitor. That's cool, I'm pretty competitive also, though a little less than I used to be.
