Ibexx or anyone else, CBSMarketwatch stated that SoundView Financial raised their estimates on Intel. Does anybody know how much the estimates were raised? I've been trying to figure out how a surge in buying due to the Y2K problem would benefit Intel's bottom line. Regards, Doug From CBSMarketwatch: SoundView's Scott Randall upgraded his earnings estimates for Intel(INTC). Randall said he sees a revenue boost for the chip maker resulting from increased spending to combat the year 2000 computer problem and accelerated launches of Intel's higher-speed Celeron processors. Intel rose 2 7/16 to 123 1/4.

Re: "However, getting assigned on the puts you are short could mean a lot of $$$$ flowing out of one's pocket--it could be an enormous amount that one is not prepared for." Which brings up the point.. No one should ever write naked puts unless they are prepared to own the stock at the strike price. I've been writing puts on RMBS for many months now and I would be glad to get assigned... But then again I'd be glad to just let them expire... EP
