Did you read the article? "The computers failed as millions of Web surfers tried to log on." JMHO.

Several months ago, the Nas installed NT servers or were suppose to. If NT servers couldn't keep up with Victoria, I hate to think of what's happening or what is likely to happen on NAS.

Sonki, How are things going. I was vacationing in Florida for a week. BAC hasn't done much lately; I did cover my naked SUNW Feb 100 puts when the stock was around 107 (went up 4 or 5 points further, before coming down with the market, so I missed out a point or so of profit on the options). Still have 10 contracts of 95 naked puts. How do the money flows look for SUNW during this sell-off. For once the sell-off is not battering my portfolio (as it usually does) since I have position in only a handful of stocks. Was able to get out of INTC, KMAG, COMS, ADIC, NT on their way up (about 5% away from the top). Started selling naked puts to acquire more positions this morning. COMS beginning to show some strength. Also - any idea why the bottom is falling out of QNTM. My stop loss (sell) on my long position went through at 24.75 (effectively a 1/2 point loss). But yesterday I sold some naked puts (Feb 22.5) to buy effectively at 20.5. Could have bought spot today. Wondoring if I should protect further downside with 20 puts. Actually, the entire Disk Drive sector is getting trashed. In my experience, component makers (memory , DD) lead the downtrend. Any thoughts. Are you buying anything else. (May want to stay away from the financials for some time). Regards Alok
