Very nice move in Solectron today (+4). With SCI Systems
falling out of favor, Jabil being in the dog house for a
year now, and Flextronics still somewhat of an unknown on
Wall St (at least that's my take), Solectron is clearly
the institutional favorite and proxy for a play in this
sector right now. So when they do well, the rest of the
stocks in the sector should get a bit a carry from their
coattail.

Looking over the options again, I saw some Dec 30 calls go for
6 1/4. So I'm feeling pretty good still about the trade I made
yesterday. One way I look at it is that for the extra 1/8 I
paid, I get an additional three months of play. Peter.

Patroller, Et al. Anybody following the unfolding tragedy
over on the Yahoo Jabil thread?

The saying the market takes no prisoners were just words to me
until I read that sobering post. Be very careful out there everybody
and never put more money into the market than you can afford to lose.
Because to some that is exactly what has happened.

Regards to all. Peter.
