Carmine, It should be clear by now that arlequin fool doesn't know very much about the stock market. Thus his continued misreading/misinterpretation of TLC option activity. This is on top of not knowing much about accounting or understanding TLC's strategy. That's why he is losing his shorts (pun intended) <GG>. I haven't seen anyone as clueless as fool since Prichards stopped posting. Prichards was perhaps the only other person who demonstrated such a misreading of TLC. What ever happened to Prichards anyway?? I guess he is too embarrassed to show up around here given TLC's strong showing. As far as fool is concerned, I think we should simply leave him alone to lose money in peace. He's had plenty of chances to cut his losses and we've done our best to help a fellow investor. In the interest of disclosure, I did take profits during this latest run-up. I still think TLC is a great company with a bright future but I wanted to raise cash for other opportunities and I was hoping for some pull-back. So much for trying to time the market <GGG>. If TLC pulls back at all, I will be back in. Take care and good luck, FF
