<<I averaged the price increases from the lowest point each January, to the highest point for the years 1990 though 1997. The average price increase is 37%. The smallest increase is 18% and the largest is 66%. This is an excellent environment for options for a short period. >> William, I hope that doesn't mean that the stock is going to drop 30% before it rises 40%! Just giving you a hard time ... as a "long common" guy, I would not be offended by a 37% rise ... though that would clearly put me at or beyond my valuation crossroads ... at least I would have 15 months before I would feel the sting of the taxman. I guess that is a bit presumptuous ... maybe all I will have this year is capital losses ... let's see, better brush up on that side of the ledger ... can use a maximum of $3,000 against ordinary income in any one year and carryover the rest ... Happy New Year All! My resolution for 1999 is to finally get around to understanding exactly what the hell we now own in VRTS! It was much simpler when it was just SEG Software ... limited disclosure ... but clearly additive from a GM/OPM perspective! --Duker
