To all, it has been a one hell of a "ride"...I was lucky to have unloaded a lot of TLC in July of '98 at ~$32...only because I needed money to buy a home in Aug...pure luck...then I bought back shares in the low twenties...also picked up $2.3K by selling Leaps(6 Jan 20 puts) and picked up $4.7K by selling Leaps(6 Jan 30 calls), all of which has made holding TLC easier...the question now is: does anyone want to own a toy company?

Fred, that's nice of you to say, and I think it's terrific that you were able to land a nice profit.

I would also like to express my appreciation to Thomas, who's professional management, cool demeanor and ability to generate objective data were instrumental in keeping me focused on TLC's strategic value. This thread, similar to PTEC, is one of the most pleasant open learning places to visit on SI. And it's because of the quality of posters like Trader Dave, you, Carmine and so many others who helped make it that way.

Unfortunately, I don't have the faith that a toy company can make the transition into a software giant. I certainly hope I am wrong for TLC longs.

Best, Michael
