MB (...Heck, Warren issued another warning and nobody pays attention to him...) Why would anybody pay attention to him? He doesn't set interest rates, do tech stocks, or even online day trade. OTOH, I believe he does play Bridge online. -g- Regards, Don

Mike/All The report I read looked like a good report. Where do you get the economy sucks ? Our dollar is highly valued in world economy,(despite our printing presses working overtime) our wage inflation was low, unemployment is stable and low. 275k new jobs added last month. Most of this looks good to me. Now ask me if it is a reason for stocks to explode to the upside (my put portfolio has been severly damaged yesterday and today) and I would say no. But as far as an economic report, it is great news. Additionally, we have managed to convince Japan that a weak yen and a poor outlook is good for their economy.

To All, I was busy buying puts with both hands near the manic buying climax today. Every time Joe Kernan on CNBS mentioned that anyone who was ever a bear is an idiot and he was going to mention their names and humiliate them in public every chance he got, I bought another batch. <g> IBM April 165s are a last third for me. IBMPM. Micron April 50s were a second third. MUPJ. Yes, I wanted to wait until the fake eps, but the price move on disastrous industry reports was too tough to pass by. Besides, I have taken some huge profits lately and if I lose on MU, I will cry but not be hurting. Revisited Sanmina for a second third. This stock rose while its business goes in the toilet. One of the great layups. April 50s. Sqnpj. Not so CHASTE in Manhattan, April 75s. CMBPO. Big derivatives exposure, overpriced stock, dumb management vs. handouts from the Fed. This is a first third, though it is hardly the first visit to this source of easy money. Templeton Emerging Markets Fund (EMFPB) April 10s. An oddball, but the emerging markets have gone from disasters to great opportunities without anything changing. Also, at a 15% premium to NAV, this looks like a layup. Good Luck, MB
