Hi Ben: Did you notice the large number of "Put" contracts traded today for the March 45 Put (SUQOI)? 1091 contracts traded with a high of $1 3/8; Open Interest is at 2779. Watch the change in open interest tomorrow to see if this number expands significantly. If this number expands by more than 1000 contracts then I would guess that for the short term the stock may trade lower(perhaps below $45) until the we see an expansion in the March 45 calls (SUQCI) OI now at 3723 contracts.

Thanks for your help. Buy SUNW !! I love the server business. High Margins, High Growth, great profits for a company. They just have to lie low and not be noticed by mighty MSFT. Ideally, should scrap the SPARC and get on board with MERCEID ASAP, like every Unix vendor out there. As far as I can see, that's the only bad problem afflicting SUNW, is the fact that MERCED is not on their radar screen, while HP is in bed with Intel. Also, R&D spending on SPARC must be pretty high, to compete with Intels $ 2 Billion spending on R&D. I still like SUNW though. Take care Jean
