I agree. I would look forward to next Tuesday. It should be fun to hear what really transpired and how they discuss earnings. And, thanks alot to Gregg. For most of the time, when he came on the thread, I had alot of knowledge of what he was talking about from both sides. He has always been very accurate and very well informed. I think it is very rare to have a large money manager who is so well informed and has worked as hard as he has to completely understand not only his investment, the finances, but the technology. That is truly rare. I wish you all the very best and happiness for your upcoming wedding, Gregg.

any professionals who could shed light on options? just curious... some (highly profitable) option calls were likely sold in the last two trading days... maybe a ton of them... as option calls are sold, does the brokerage house sell underlying common shares in order to neutralize house exposure? ... if a buyer of that option can be found, no need obviously... but if late in the game as expiration approaches, buyers vanish... always thought they somehow are magically converted to shares with par value versus strike price... pardon me if wrong terms does this explain the five point drop AFTER 4pm? options close at 4:15pm, right? could be a slingshot at Monday open doubt market buy orders will be filled under 146 appreciate any experienced explanation thanks, jim
