Re: Options Most likely the last trade from yesterday was earlier in the day when the stock was higher. With options, it's important to follow changes in the bid and ask rather than the last trade because trading is not continuous. Also note that a wide spread could explain some of what you are observing (some dummy may have overpaid for the options yesterday). Regards - PerryA

AMD-Enthusiasts, Here is a clip from TheStreet.Com: Begin clip ** Krelle, who heads chip marketing at AMD, is showing off the chip that his company hopes to unleash in the next couple of weeks as an Intel (INTC:Nasdaq) killer. Called the K7, the chip is designed to deliver a speed for PCs that Intel won't be able to match for at least a year. "We've always been two clock rates behind Intel," says Krelle. "Intel is now at 550 megahertz; our highest speed on the K6 is 450 MHz. Now we want the highest performance and highest clock rate." Despite misfires in its K5 and K6 lines, Krelle is convinced K7 will be a winner. At speeds that could reach 700 MHz, the K7 is expected to be faster than any PC chip Intel will have on the market until next summer. "The K7 can loaf and keep up with Intel's MHz rate," says Nathan Brookwood, a technology analyst with semiconductor research firm Insight 64. ** End clip Note the bit about being ready for release in a couple of weeks. I think we will see a lot of momentum buying in the next hour or so! Chuck
