Just call me Chiquita from now on. Plenty of time to grow a bunch ( A bad pun is a thing of beauty, I always say.)

I thought it was interesting to see today that someone purchased 132 April 17.5 calls today. I have watched the option trading and over the last week there has been no options (puts or call) of any kind on WFR. Now someone buys 132 options that expire in three weeks? Hope they know something. It also adds to my uncertainty of whether or not I should jump in at 15 and purchase some more shares or not? KiWi

<slightly off topic> Dear Zeev, do You have any idea of companies active in SiGe-design (not the basic materials but actual those who should do logic and or mixed signal circuits) ? If so, pls. be so kind to tell me about them. Reason: I'm currently exploring GaAs companies: MPDI, ANAD, RFMD, TQNT, SPCT, PWAV. As I see it - and You seem to tout the same horn - SiGe could emerge as a viable alternative. The only problem is to be prepared and to know the contenders. Are there any, yet ? Apart from this, could those GaAs design & fab companies switch over to SiGe easily ? Is this a big task for them, coupled with huge investment outlays ? TIA, best wisehs CROSSY
