Speaking of which, do you have any thoughts on INTC and CPQ Leaps right now? Both seem to have retested recent lows. <edit> just checked LU, another candidate? bp

Actually, I remember reading about some of your LEAP transactions on INTC, if I remember correctly. I have been around a long time.

I also remember that you and I own a lot of the same companies. For one, I remember you buying RMBS at $30 and belatedly I bought at $40 (but I sold at $60 and recently bought back in at $38 3/4).

Difference between us is that you hedge with options, and I don't hedge, rather I raise cash to buy in lower. Another difference is you own SAP and I own PSFT. One last difference is that I don't take these threads so seriously. I look at them as entertainment.

That is why you will see me making predictions and forecasts even though no one can tell the future. So far, I feel I have been pretty accurate, but that may change. However, who cares? It's all in good fun.

Even with all these differences we are probably more alike than you realize or would care for.

Anyway, enough said. Good skill in your investing!
