The harbingers of future promise: 1. advertising and commerce backlog of $1.3 billion at end of quarter 2. strategic alliances with bell atlantic and sbc,southwesten bell, for dsl... 3. chips allowing 1 gig to 3 gig per second two way transmission over wire lines 4. Acquisition of netscape and the formation of alliance with Sun Micro for online business and commerce on the Net 5. Ongoing bullish earnings, subscriber growth, and projections with momentum 6. Analysts meeting beginning Tuesday night and Wednesday, with the technical gap between $120~$130 filled by then. Short term and Long Term factors seem to be coming together. Peace, Rick

Well the margin Gods have been kind: after that one margin call, no more. I bought back my DELL puts accidentally and now am glad I did as it eased the margin problem. Am also transferring to Brown the margin account only (I like Fidelity except for margin dept) for lower maintenance. Aol 's big move down has hurt but I'm hanging in there. I should have sold all my May calls on Wed: I heard the economist DElos Smith of Market Watch say this week's cpi would look bad because of the oil prices but it was a one time glitch only. I should have sold because, as you said, there is precious little time left and the market wont return (probably) until Wed. Sigh. Maybe Dell will blow out earnings. We can hope! Happy weekending Uncle Frank and all! Freeus
