If I remember correctly, those options were re-priced to 25 7/8? That s a nice run for about 11 1/2 bucks to last friday. I guess they had the weekend to think about it and decided to take the money & run! As for the cold, try adding some cloves and cinnamon sticks to about a liter of red-wine, with about 3 tablespoons sugar and boiling it. Then drink it, it works great for me its an old european remedy. Fuzfo

Working with a bad cold and a temperature today, so if I do make sense don't be surprised. It must have been in the air at Robertson Stephens. I've had the same. :(( If my intake of fresh-squeezed orange juice is any indication, buy citrus futures. Later -- Pat

reduced price option selling immediately is not uncommon. many employers have an agreement with a broker so the employee can exercise their options to pay for their options. if the option was for 1000 shares at $25, and you want to exercise your options, you would need $25k. but if you have the options sold to cover the $25k part, you can keep the rest of the stock $10k worth, or opt to sell all and pocket the $10k. this way, even if the employee has no money, they can exercise their options.
