Thanks. I assume by big deals from your earlier comments, you think fore and coms will go possibly this week?? I almost bought coms friday but didnt pull the trigger, had too much on my plate already but almost bought 10 call contracts anyway when stock was at 23 1/8, checked it later and you can guess the rest. I also think a deal is near(just on a wild hunch) with pair and ecilf. Back in November, blurbs started appearing that ECILF would buy one of there companies, cien, pair, afci. I owned two of the three( wish I had all three) and when the fake buyout posting on pair happened on 7th April, initially the CFO said "we havent announced that yet". Of course Ecilf denied it altogether. However, last summer I loaded up on Bay Networks because I was sure Nortel would purchase it and remember distinctly the company denying it on the thursday before they bought Bay on the next monday. Who knows, but I hope Fore does go this week.

Tim, a question for you about AB Wately if you don't mind. I have the lit from them and I have read thru it, but I am still not clear about something. If I do 100-199 trades/month, it says $18.95/trade. But how many shares is that for? I typically do trades in 3-5K blocks, and with Schwab I am really getting screwed for 5K it is $150 to buy in and $150 to get out. For 1K shares, Schwab versus ABW doesn't mae much difference (the cost of the trade that is), but does it really only cost $18.95 for 5K shares? Thanks a bunch. PS: Check out AFCI, I think we will see $9 1/2 this week and $11-$13 soon. Currently trades at $8 1/4. I got in last week at $7 1/8.
