There is hardly any action in the June call options today - did everyone already close out or do they really want to own this stuff?

The trend is down for the next few days at least. It's time for me to go away for a long weekend. Please keep the stock below 70 until Monday. I have to buy it then because of assigned naked call options (Brown and Company also has no shares available to short). Won't that change when the larger speculators dump their shares? Wish everyone a good finish to a rough week.

Shifts seen in online shopping New types of products are showing rising sales online. While computer software, books and music have traditionally been the strongest categories, New York-based market researcher Organic says sales of gifts, apparel, cars, and food are showing "significant increases." The study also found that women, for the first time, outspent men in certain categories. Twenty six percent of women, for example, purchased gifts online. The report concludes online shopping is beginning to replace traditional retail shopping among consumers. Twenty nine and a half million adults researched product information online. Of those, 15.8 million did their shopping in traditional retail outlets or by mail order. cbs.marketwatch.com
