To Uncle Frank: Thank you. I just took your advice and you are right as well as gracious. There is SunW on the list among a very good group indeed. Perhaps I can learn to look before I leap. I will try to be more patient, restrained, use complete sentences, paragraphs, use analysis and be cool. :-) Best regards. Chaz too

FRIDAY: G&K INDEX UP .72% TO 136.7

Talking to myself, since this is the first post on the thread today.

The Index was led upward by orcl (+11% - dead cat bounce?), counteracting the -3.2% posted by dell. The ytd leader is our newly discoveret Gorilla-lette, qcom, which has yielded an astounding 162% return ytd to the investors wise enough to have purchased by the start of the year, while orcl ownership during the same period has cost it's investors a reduction in capital of 39.8%.

Extreme Networks is the hot new entrant in the Networking Arena (layer 3 ethernet switches), and after ipo'ing at 17 yesterday, spiked to over 65 this morning and then settled down to close at 55 3/8 (a good example of why it's insane to put in an overnight market order for the first day's trading of an ipo). I was fortunate (?) enough to open a position at 51.

Hope you all had a good day,
