> why is sunw up again? Thats an easy one: because I have the Nov 55 calls written against my shares. I was hoping for a pull back into the mid to upper 50's, doesn't look that will happen. I guess I will roll forward into the April series, I feel like I am getting way behind the 8 ball here. Dave

Sonki, It's because HWP has done it again. They have managed to steal defeat from the jaws of victory: now we learn that Merced is NOT going to be the RISC-buster that was promised, even when it does finally come out in 2000. Who's left to compete with UltraSPARC??? I can think of IBM, and DEC (oops!! I mean Compaq) Alpha. Alpha is hamstrung by NT (or lack thereof). That leaves SUNW & IBM. Both of these "giants" are going to carve up the enterprise in the next 3-5 years & SUNW is going to become a $20+ billion company. The stock is going to continue to go up because it HAS to go up. cheers, cherylw
