Warren Buffet loads up on silver? Silver climbs from the news? Must be nice to be Warren! Or, should we call him King Midas? But talk about speculative excesses in the market...

Thoughts?

Roger -

What are the terms of the SEPR debentures? When they say "at a price to be determined," does that mean it's floorless?

Kailash

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Sepracor Inc. (Nasdaq: SEPR - news) today announced that it proposes to offer a new issue of $130 million of Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2005 (the "Debentures").

Roger,

CNBC reports that DLJ has upped its price targets on Dell Computer(DELL 107 5/8) from $105 to $125.

Are you still short? Time to close?

Is it automatic to just keep uping price targets as they're hit? I guess so. I imagine if DELL hits 125 in a month or 2 they'll up to 150.
