Not much bounce in HMK. I agree it was really taken out and shot. I will start watching it for signs of life. The selling looks way overdone.

I should have waited one day for my Portfolio Update. After today's action the portfolio is up 15%. Here is the revised list:

Performance by % gains:

(LOR calls +150%)
WCOM +51%
FHT +40%
RNWK +30%
FNDTF +22%
MFNX +19%
CMGI +27%
XYLN +14%
PLCM +14%
VRIO +18%
VTSS +12%
BRKB +12%
SCGEX +4%

BEARX -3%
PROG -1%
MXTR -7.5%
CMIV -14%
ERGO -15%
FLYR -24%
KCS -40%
NRAG -62%

Sold TNO this morning. May jump in and out again this week as the MMPT IPO gets closer. But daytrading NYSE stocks is hard without a Level 2 view of the situation.

Also shorted RACE today. It has all the classic signs - almost no sales, press release hype, fanatical longs, a float over 10 million and - best of all - discount convertible financing. Initial target is 5 or lower. Level 2 picture shows lots of sellers stacked up into the low 8's.

Norman, please tell me more about HMK - their business, competitors, any particular advantage they have, etc.

I am looking seriously at the Sept 25 HMK calls for 2 bucks. I bought my LOR calls for 2 bucks when the stock tanked to the low teens, and they are bid at 5 now.

HMK looks like a real opportunity over the next 8 months.
