Murrey,

A vole is practically identical to a field mouse and boy do they have genders. <g>

A vole is a furry little critter -- a lemming. Looks kinda like a mouse. When the market takes a dump, like it did yesterday and this morning it creates opportunities for pussycats to catch a few voles. They just have to get out of the market because the voles around them are doing that. See, voles don't think for themselves, so when a chief rodent, like Ralph Acompora says "the market is gonna go down", all those little market rodents fall all over themselves trying to get out. I used the opportunity to buy back some covered calls I wrote at a tidy profit.

Pretty soon ole Ralph gonna say, "the market gonna go up" and back come all the voles buying back shares of Dell at $5 more than they sold them for.

Now how does ole Ralph know, you might ask, that the market is gonna go down? See he gets touted on the air, and the best customers of his brokerage are wired into him (robot-like) so they can be the first lemmings off the cliff.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, "No pussycat ever went hungry underestimating the intelligence of a vole".

TTFN,
