I'm one of those insane people Gokhan. I've learned my lessons dealing w/ KTEL, AMZN, YHOO and getting burned, burned, burned. There is no rationality. This is complete hype and manipulation. But who cares if you make money? Shorting XYBR will be very dangerous, imho. This does not have much of a float and we all know what has happened to stocks like that. Long term this stock is probably toast. I'm in it for the short run up the flagpole. Hal

Just sold XYBR and locked in nearly 100% profit in less than 24 hours. Market insanity is great, ain't it. Hal

Now that my option account is empty I can't do any more damage to myself, but I can share all my lousy put/short ideas with you! yes Gokhan, XYBR, what a piece of crap! AMZN is so freakin obvious I can't stand it YHOO, XCIT, all of them! DELL--especially if runs up on good earnings next week, June 100 puts after a little squeeze this week, and why the hell did Dell go down to 90 and stop dead in it's tracks! (for that matter why did Dell take off like a rocket as soon as I picked up four May 90's when dell was at 92 still) IRIDF--in September when it tops out, and before the great crash of October 1998 and the T minus one year Leonid sampler (main storm comes in 1999). MSFT--after a relief rally, because five years from now we will all be running Linux. Just kidding about that last one, hehe.
