Paul,

>> If you're afraid a stock may go down, maybe you shouldn't invest in it.<<

All investment involves risk, and capital management is important. I think the market has some heavy risk over the next 15 months so I've hedged. IMHO any significant cash position you are holding is also a form of hedge. You are confident that INTC will go up during the next 15 months, but I think you are hedging with cash out of the market in case INTC doesn't come thru.

Anyway, thanks for comments......we'll just have to wait to see what happens...at least that makes it interesting.

JO

Paul,
How much would a share of Intel be worth today if you got it for say $1 in 1974 and got all those nice splits? Perhaps this will help John understand why you don't need to hedge? <G>
