Interesting, SteelerStu, But... There is this little (or big) thing called Y2K that I think will be a factor in the markets. Now, I write this not as a confirmed Y2K alarmist, quite to the contrary. Rather, I write as someone who has observed that the markets just don't like uncertainty... Just my humble opinion, of course. By the way, with its Skytel purchase--coupled with an earlier cable company acquisition--MCI Worldcom is making some rather interesting moves. Here's hoping that PCFreeComputers.com and Wave's negotiations with MCI are proceeding quite nicely. Not that that would be determinative of Wave's wonderful future. Just would be an extra-nice dot to add to our dot collection. Best Regards, c m

Conventional wisdom suggests not to invest in things you don't understand, nor to eat foods you can't spell. Both can end with the same result! No doubt in my mind, Stu, that you have the smarts and the vision to reap the rewards of options opportunities, and I certainly hope you score big-time, but methinks that instruments that carry "Lose Everything" deadlines, as illustrated so well by Slate, and seconded by Marty and Steven, and others, are not for a regular tyro, such as meself. Factors apply that have nothing to do with WAVX. For example, the Y2K climate... could there be a flight to safety in the coming months? Possibly. But that scenario, IMHO, would evaporate many options plays, while creating buying and accumulation opportunities for the longs. Cheers, Wooly
