List of most active options traded on Friday. Iomega Feb. 10s number two on the list. At 1/8, can anyone be selling these things? Has to be buyers. But why? bloomberg.com

Pigman: This time you are only a half liar, and it would appear that after all of these losers, you finally had a winner--well maybe not, since you didn't inform us when you decided to sell. Moreover, you announced that you were once again in at the absolute low for the day, at the end of the trading day on January 6, this year. So let's do away with that lie, and put you in at the close of the day, when Iomega was at 8 and 3/8s. Now that monster move that you were talking about did go to ten, but after the seven trading days that you predicted, it had already hit ten and retreated--and there was no word from you. That's the other side of the coin Tommy Bacon--if you really want to be a top notch market timer (Internet pimp), you have to state both your entry and exit points, and you can't always fantasize at the end of the trading day that you bought at the daily low and sold at the daily high. I will say this: YOur lies are getting a little more clever--but not clever enough to make a living at it. I would stick with your job as night "manager" for the third shift at the 7-11 for the time being until you get a little more seasoning.
