Hey ag, yeah selling is always a dilemma.. I almost sold my RNWK options today, but think i will hold on for now cause I have quite a bit of breathing room after their significant rebound from Monday.. I must admit that I got greedy a couple of times in the past and held out too long, but I think most of my current pics have some room for growth yet so I plan to hold for a bit.. Well, at least until tomorrow morning?!.. Good Luck.. Mark

ag, on RMII i am thinking about this trade, buying the stock 13 1/4 bid x 13 1/2 ask selling the May 15 calls 1 bid x 1 1/4 selling the May 12.50 puts 1 3/16 x 1 7/16 reasoning behind the trade if your stock is called away @ $15 with both premiums you sell your stock at the upper end of the trading range $17, and if the stock closes below $12.50 you buy more stock around support at $10.25 if the stock closes between $12.50 and $15 you pocket the premiums and keep your stock. buying COMS Jan 2000 25's here @ 4 1/2, COMS trading at five year low with takeover rumors circulating around SI. have bought PAIR Jan 2000 10's below $3 sold @ $4 1/2 will look for this PAIR trade again, just need one day of takeover rumors also long LPGL. good luck in your trading, john
