Hi MB! I was able to diversity my LEAP position further this morning by selling a YHOO put that I picked up during its huge jump the other day and buying four each of some cheaper LEAPS in MU and LU. I still have a good position in YHOO. Am a little short of cash for this particular account now, or would add SCH and maybe CSCO. My hope now is that these things (AMZN, YHOO, LU, MU, DELL, INTC, and AOL) will move erratically with regard to one another, though all with considerable downside potential, and that the commissions don't kill me if from time to time I shift to what seems a better position. YHOO is after all already down nearly 30% from its recent high, whereas LU and MU were still climbing. I sure hope this works better than other bright ideas I have come up with.

Mike, what is strange about the talk about the US being the only Superpower is we were not willing to pay the price for victory in Nam - NOT THAT I FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE IT IS A TRAGEDY THAT I WISH NEVER HAPPENED. Nonetheless China would really have to do something outrageous for the US to mess with them. They need not fear us just keep giving the politicians money. the enemy is within. Mike
