Dale,
I got to hand it to you, you do stick by your conviction.

I don't know what got into me that I shorted SUNW last Fri towards the close at 100.5 but covered yesterday morning at 101. Don't mistake me I still have a substantisl long position acquired last month in the 80s through naked puts. I was just trying a go with a hunch (but boy was I wrong). Should have done that at 115 today. SUN is a long term winner. It may come down to the 90s again but it is not going to the 60s. I do have a stop loss limit at 98 on my long position. You have to agree that the company has a lot more visibility today due to the Internet (MSFT continued pushing out of Windows 2000 does not hurt either).

I also sold naked puts for Feb 95s today at 3 3/4 to acquire more SUN if it falls.

Regards

Alok

Dear Dale: Thank you for your advice. I am undecided. Personally, I think SUNW has wonderful technology nearly perfect for the immediate and intermediate future. I cannot see out farther than that myself. I will be in SUNW long term. Whether I should sell and buy back is my only dilemna. I am not interested in paying a lot of taxes just to save a few bucks on the share price. JDN
