Max pain is pretty good but not always accurate. Even the option writers get burned sometimes, otherwise that would be all that anyone would have to do. You still have nails?

Web , may the AAPL "force" will be with you this January Notwithstanding Senor jobs will establish 1999 as AAPL's entry into the Enterprise Market (OS X the multi-platform Server) with the average revenue per box doubling , but it looks like some large "friendly" holders set a "bear trap" at $43 . A iMAC pre-intro run up started about 2 weeks earlier (8/4/98) but not until big short positions were repeatedly established (8/21 - 24/98) at the high ($43 - $43 3/4). Smaller shorts followed the trap (at less than $43) , but the big uns covered during the $28 - $32 "mired in the DOJ" period , which was marked by "undisputed" rumors of iMACs backing up on AAPL's loading docks . The remaining shorts planned on covering during December tax selling , but PC DATA released "successful" sales for the iMAC , and we moved quickly back to $40 "closing the trap" . The coming 1/4/99 MacWorld SF appears to be a developer "support" fest and should trigger a covering panic among "nervous" shorts this week . It's a just reward for AAPL's longs . AAPL's stock becomes newsworthy justifying longer term capital , plus attracting new "Enterprise" management to AAPL ($32/shr options) and motivating AAPL's current employees (options) at $16.50/shr . IBM had similar (planned) swings during its recovery . Rich (and all) , Happy New year netos.com , and for you Rich may MRVC become a "distant" memory ! Jim K.
