An interesting point for options traders. QNTM is trading 22 1/2 to 22 9/16. The March 22 1/2 option is 1/16 to 3/16. So, do you think Qntm can go up? If so, it's an interesting bet. Regards, Mark

Re: PC Penetration Growth Interesting article. I feel the need to dispute some of its claims <g>. They said: Despite attempts by PC makers to increase penetration more rapidly by introducing PCs priced below $1,000... I think the causal relationship alleged here is, um, BS. PC prices have come down because there's no application driving high end desktop sales. They said: ''PC manufacturers and retailers -- and supporters of the sub-$1,000 PC -- were certain that lowering prices would create a stampede of first-time buyers,'' Welcome to the wonderful world of inelastic demand. They said: This massive research effort includes a national survey of 6,000 consumers ... There's something wrong with that sentence there ... <g> God bless, PX
