Yeah, but Paul, I think Burke made 67% in about a month, so, his rate of return is still better.

Paul, El Stupido. The point was return over a very short period of time. It took you bloody forever to make your money on Ciena, if you aren't just making up your story. I think you may be telling the truth, as the stock went much higher after you sold, so you would make yourself look smarter if you were making it up. I did 10 times better than you with puts on the same stock in the 70s and 80s, but they took several months to come true. And I figured you didn't understand what an option was anyway. MB
