MB...are you still long puts on MU? it seemed to give up the ghost on this big "rebound" today... Wow...NEM now at 16 and change. it is a buck more expensive than abx yet when abx was at 32, NEM was 50-60. Those yr 2000 & 2001 calls are really making me drool. Do you think it is time to initiate a third yet? Jan 30s are 1 7/8! 20s are 4 1/4... NEM was 34 when au neared 320 a couple of months ago.

MB, I know you like some of the oil-service stocks so I thought I'd pose a question of comparison: GLM vs. TDW vs. SLB I'm just a small investor with room for only one of these in my portfolio (I bought GLM at 25, now down about 50 % in a couple of months) and as I've done more research TDW and SLB look better than GLM to me.

What are the requirement that one must meet to short stocks? Are there any online brokers that allow you to do so? What are some german banks with too much russia exposure? Rumor mill sayz that MOB is a good target for oil consolidations, your opin on that and other targets? Is the 13g or 13d sec filing the one you do when you own greater than 5% of company or is its something else (I see one filed for SANG by Dresdner Assoc.)? What the hell was I thinking when I betted on Russia, even Soros says that they should devalue? Where should I get my head examined?
