Guess I shouldn't feel bad, but I'm still beating myself up for selling 1/3 of my XYLN for only a 9 point gain. Always wishin' for the true homerun! BTW is your SI link really slow right now?

Have to follow the rules of the game you play. I had fun with that one. Made plenty. I leared more. Go to the fundamentals and decide what is value and what is speculation. xyln was a fundamental play to about 26. pair is still a undervalued stock. My opinion is pair is certainly safe to 12. I have friends that rate it at 18. I'd like other opinions regarding value. It might break out before it reaches it value, as xyln did. I also am not bankrolled on this guy. I am mostly cash. That gives me lots of room to make other plays and ignore the sleeper. Glenn

Tim, want to thank you for XYLN. I too sold the stock earlier for reasons of "impatience", but kept call contracts, which rose studpendously with the take-out news. Question: I've got to decide whether it's worth it to excercise March 20 $15 call contracts, which are currently worth about $21K, in line with XYLN's current price. If the $2 bil buyout price holds, what is the worth of the stock? Will it go much beyond 36? thnks for your help, R. PS: dumped the OMPT at 12.25. After you called it at 10, it quickly hit 17+. Wish I'd dumped then, but...
