LT, This is the lightning rod thread for bulls. The Intel bulls are just the most recent arrivals in a long line that stretch back to the Atmel bulls, the CompUSA bulls, the Dell bulls, the Brightpoint bulls (are they still in business), etc. Every time I mention buying puts on certain stocks, somebody jumps up and tells me I am stupid. The more that do so, the more right I know I am. In fact, I am kind of perturbed that no Fannie Mae bulls have told me I'm an idiot. <G> Does anyone remember the goof who came on the thread to state that my slamming of the bank stocks was one of the worst bits of research he'd ever seen? And Citicorp would go up forever because it merged with Traveler's? <VBG> Well, that wasn't the top. But the stock declined 41% from THAT point, though I did get some puts when the suckers took it even higher. For some reasons, the bulls think that saying "rah, rah, I wuv my stock," means that it is fairly valued. <G> MB
