Hi Judy, AOL I will hit from the top in Jan during options flux. I'd been planning to buy puts on AOL. By "options flux" do you mean the period around expiration, or is there another time of the month when it occurs? CPU's strength: probably speculation about holiday sales. Did you get a shiny new 300 MHz Pentium II box with DVD this Christmas? I'm guessing people are thinking lots of people did. S.

Hi Judy, do you have any price targets on your CSCO trade? I have LEAPS in CSCO right now which are profitable, but am considering trading them before earnings. I used that strategy with LU Leaps last July and it worked out quite well. LU beat estimates and the stock made further advances, but I felt it was prudent to take the profit before earnings. Just curious, how do you know "when the shorts get out of the way"? TIA, bp
