David, That's as good as Rob's picks did? Jeesh, no wonder he's so upset. Don't show him the Commission list. It might push him over the edge. <g> I think you wait for a dip......and ya miss the party this time around. Things are getting interesting.....and IDX has not even confirmed a new 52 week high....and nothing has been said. I think " a smart fella" would plan on seeing the 15 and 17.5 calls soon. bg

Some costs of e-security, from today's online NY Times: "[S]oftware designed to encrypt customer information as it travels to the seller, such as that sold by Verisign, costs $350 a year. "And through companies like Cybercash, E-commerce sites can get credit card encryption and processing services set up for roughly $400, plus a fee of 20 to 25 cents a transaction. And for as little as $30 a month, smaller merchants can get secure online storefronts through companies like Cybercash and Internet providers." ======================== The article makes the point that a number of smaller companies are less interested in transactional security than the appearance of transactional security and that, given relatively modest security costs, it would not be such a bad idea if the government required true security.
