William (Photoman), stockholders are allowed to post. <G> As a stockholder, I think that gives you rights. Optionholders are a cut below. As far as I know, anyone can post. Regards, Larry PS--COMS warned, after the bell, I think, that earnings and revenues would be below Wall Street estimates. (How's that for a fundamental post?)

You know, you're pretty loquacious about this stock, its specialist, how he shorts this stock, and your special ability to divine his actions. So I thought perhaps this thread would benefit from some fundamental analysis of your predictions.

<< Options are a rigged game, if anything is rigged. You can better odds at the BJ tables in Vegas.>> I have never been able to justify writing covered options or trading options, but have had very good luck in badly beaten up stocks and markets buying roughly six month options when I believe they have 500% potential appreciation on an underlying stock potential upside of 100% plus. I am always amazed someone will sell me such an option. They get most of the downside risk and I get huge potential upside. -Z
