Hi Virgil, Welcome back. My friend and I have been waiting for you to get back so You and Herm can set up some trades. I hate to depend on someone else to do my foot work, but when it comes to fundamentals, I'm lost. Technically' I can usually see something in the works. (not always), but the work that Herm and yourself does is very important, as far as putting a finishing touch. MRE looks like a great CC play right now. I like to wait till the RSI starts tilting down. ANIK looks like it did a good job of retesting the 4+ bottom and could go to 6+ for CCs. Like some of my stocks, you'll have to CC a few times to get even. In those cases I try to grab a smaller premmie so I don't have to wait so long. It's kind of like 6 of 1 and a half dozen of another. Hope you had a nice Christmas and looking forward to your input come Monday Morning. Johndee

Welcome back Virgil from your long tour of duty! The markets have done an about face in three months times. We went from doom and gloom to charge in the computer and internet stocks. Oils are still sucking wind. You still have the magic touch Virgil. MRE Looks interesting. The open interest in the options look a little light. The stock has done good. Earnings release is due out around Jan. 13, 1999 and the fiscal year ends in December. Should be a good earnings release.
