Rich, Glad to see you are actually doing some engineering work today.... thanks for the interpretation of the chip uhhhhh...... I think I understand it but then again I am just a lowly CatBabe btw, the kids who won the stock picking contest (jrs and srs in high school) on CNBC turned 10k into 212k in three months...(dont know if this was one where they competed against the analysts or not) I bet they are ecstatic....and they looked like it ...all had big grins on their faces... BUT I didnt see any girls in that group !!!!!!!! one of the picks was RMBS...but dont know when the cut off was on the contest..surely before this latest run up....

Rich -- My programmer must've been reading some of the books Pat sent along with the booze ----- Spreads and straddles and butterflies ----- and this dang box didn't even call the direction right a while ago ---- SPX at 1133.59 --- I'm thinking, I don't want any of the cheese, I just want out of the trap ----- and the BBx sends a I could buy message (at 1132.50) sell out at break even for both positions, which it says will only take a little over a point upwards move from there ........ I think I'll kill the programmer and plead justifiable homocide .... or maybe self defense....... The funny thing is he knew I wasn't going to trade today cause of the construction, but no crew here now til Monday, and that's the trimout group ----- so I just sold out for a loss ----- to heck with the cheese ......gggg I did get on the phone with him and he said he really didn't know that I was planning on making a trade and he was trying out some new stuff, knowing that I'd look at it later this afternoon .... oh well, it could have be a lot worse ...... gggg Regards --- Nemer
