J.Krnjeu, I hope you don't wait for me to make an options move. I have become very conservative in my investing lately---upon my wife's insistance. I might just pass up on the potential big gains on MSFT and INTEL options. (I hold both already but not too much). However, I own lots of shares. I feel the time the analysts get this weekend to digest the Compaq news might just stop a sharp sell off in its tracks, meaning less of an options buying opportunity. Like I already stated, Ashok Kumar's interview just killed a big selloff. As far as I am concerned he is the best analyst out there in the PC industry--brilliant. If I see INTEL off by $3 on Monday or Microsoft below 92----I might actually step in add some more. I am not saying that options are not good buys even if we hold at 94. I am just stating that due to my new trading strategies, I probably won't try to hit the "jackpot" unless we see sharper drops monday morning. BTW--Compaq is probably giving itself a "cushion" and might report 3 or 4 cents higher----maybe close to 20 cents.
