I'm seeking advice on using margins to purchase Valence. I have, for me, a sizable position in Valence and am considering leveraging those shares by using my margin to purchase additional shares when the P.O. is announced. Like everyone on the bb I have no idea when the P.O. is coming and don't want to be in the position of not being able to utilize my margin because I missed the press release of the first P.O. I spoke with my broker this morning and I can place an order to buy more shares if the price reaches or exceeds a certain point (say $10). Anyone else grappling with this or have suggestions? Thanks in advance. Doug

HEY! Let's not get personal and stomp all over the Harley! ;-) Actually, though, I've had a 1991 1200cc sportster since that time(original owner), and I gotta say they've improved the product from the days when you bought a Harley and they'd throw in a pan to catch the oil leaks. I've had nary one problem with it, and I ride it a lot(being a city person it's basically my only motorized, "let's get out of here" transportation"). I'll have to agree with yer "low tech" stuff. Heh! When you spend an entire work week surrounded, and managing, a crew of techno-geeks like meself, it's refreshing to clear out the mind on a thundering machine(the noise is what makes a Harley). As for flopping over.....yah.....well....that only happens if'n you forget to put the kick stand down. And as for the "big bike" comment......hmmmm.....let's just say I don't like to brag; ;-), but I'd sure hate to hear what you think of my Silicon Graphics/DEC Alpha Workstation/LAN "home brew", all linked to the Web via a screamin' ADSL link provided by Bell Atlantic.(I just loooove high rates of speed, be it of the two wheeled or the 8 bits to the byte variety) John~
