VRIO .... SEG 0.42 cents actual versus 0.26 analysts' est. YHOO: YHOO 0.21 actual versus 0.16 analysts' est. good way to begin our earnings plays season.. although we've gotten a good deal out of YHOO since December 28 when the internet newsletter was released, it looks like we might have a new surge tomorrow.. Today was a good day to pick up some internet option calls for a 'discount'... ELNK, VRIO, and the portals could invariably have a good day tomorrow, add the earning surprise for INTC and maybe that solidifies things.. VRIO earnings won't be coming in until last week in February.. which is a good thing.. I wouldn't want earnings release to be swallowed up in a 'corrective' internet climate. Still holding VRIO and with any news of any importance in internet sector, VRIO should use the opportunity to fly. SEG.
