Judy, Are you doing any earnings plays on AOL today? I thought that due to the high intrest in the stock that a strangle might be profitable. If it hits numbers, the stock might soar and split, if it misses and the market rests tomorrow, then it might get hit hard.. Also, has anyone heard if Dell is rumoring of a split in the near term? I would love to buy calls with that info in my pocket.. Thanks! E

re XCIT, I partook of it, but I headed out when it reached my target of $40...didn't think it had much more upside to it, and the risk of losing ground on a retracement seemed too great. It's strength and speed REALLY surprised me, although it shouldn't have. I rode it from 10 to 16 last year in 3 weeks. BAY's chart reminds me of ASND's, and I think that next time it tests resistence, it'll go through in the proceeding 1-2 weeks after a minor pullback. -Kevin
