Thanks for the support, Big Puppy. That reminds of when I working as a park coach for the kids during college summers. There was a big fountain in the center of the park in which the kids would insist on running around and trying to kill themselves. I'd be there constantly telling them to exit, usually with little success. One day I told them to get out, they looked toward me and froze, complying immediately. I thought I was pretty hot stuff until I looked behind me and saw two great big gardeners glaring at the kids with crossed arms! Your exhortations to Tedders just might have a similar effect! mph (unless, of course, he's playing hard to get--g)

About FGII tomorrow. FGII has had quite a fantastic run and separated itself from the pack. Everyone and their mother expected FGII to beat estimate pants down. With the yo-yo nature of FGII as of late, be watchful of the sudden avalanche of profit-taking upon good news release. DON'T buy at the open tomorrow. If you need to buy, buy after it opens. It would not surprise me a bit to see FGII come down 2-3 points after a opening gap up. There are three months to go before the next earning. So somewhere between now and then there will be plenty of swings. Big Dog - tomorrow can be a good day to write calls, especially if the premium can add up to above its 52 week high.
