Zeev & Thread, Does anyone know who decides what options are available. The reason I ask is according to the CBOE Web Site, MEMC is a "Cycle 1" company which means that their new LEAPS should become available after May expiration. cboe.com Here is the current list of 2001 LEAPS that become available on Monday. cboe.com MEMC is not on this list. Anyone have any idea on why this might be this way?

Unlike Zeev, who seems to have a real handle on these things, I am not Andrew Jackson waiting we see the whites of their eyes. I am more like Stormin Norman carpet bombing. Hey, if I can't get the exact bottom, I'll at least get most of it. But seriously, we could have the beginning of Zeevs collapse coming soon. We have Jakarta burning up with extreme political instability, we have potential interest rate increases, and we have MSFT getting ready to have an injunction put against them which will probably effect the entire sector. Zeev, I'm still holding back my bananas

Zeev, WFR will be the last in the food chain to move when the semi sector recovers. The new semi fab plants will come on line when demand resumes and it won't be silly putty that the fab plants will be stamping out chips with. One should pull both barrels when one sees the whites of the specialists' eyes! Now in CYMI's meetings notes posted on the CYMI thread, I read for the stepper to scanner transition, the tool of choice will be 50-80 percent of tools in '99 will be scanners. That does not bode so well for UTEK, what say you? btw, do you work in optics ... or just routinely work with units of angstroms?
