Chris just think in 5 years this job will be open Better not bad mouth IBM stock as here is what IBM pays its guy to smooth talk investors : news.com To assure it without shareholder commotion you know Mr Gerstner will do a bang up job 4/28/98 (annual meeting) after his 1Q "surprise" . Asia was insignificant at only 3% last year , Europe looks great due to the EU requirements and that $140 mln Winter Olympics expense really paid off . Then he will show off the new copper chip technology but not as good as Steve Jobs will do tomorrow at Seybold . And Senor Jobs works for stock only ! Maybe Jobs will be your competition for the IBM job in 5 years ? All in fun, Jim K.

Question for Chris or anyone. I am currently learning how trading option works by reading a book "Options As A Strategic Investment" by Lawrence G. McMillian but still not clear if one could sell a call or a put option when it is out-of-the-money. The book did say that if hold until expire than it would expire worthless this part I understand but did not actually say that the option could be liquidated before the expire date in the case of it is out-of-the-money. Any clarification is much appreciated. Thanks.
