    SBUX calls up 900% overnight

    That's cool . Nothing personal meant. I was just commenting that for me it didn't make sense based the the futures action you had given us. If SBUX is as you say a generally quiet stock, I'd not be inclined to trade the options at all, frankly. I think it was just Nitro trying to lead us...

    SBUX calls up 900% overnight

    Tell me what I'm missing here please. If futures traders in London are SHORTING coffee that would indicate they expect the price to drop which, if true, could improve SBUX bottom line. Don't think I'd be looking at puts if that's the case.

    Unusual activity ?

    Optionsplayer; right. The highest I saw was .45 x .50. Even though it dropped today the stock still seems to have some resilience. I think it will pick up again next week. Rock: could be, but remember that CSCO reports earnings on the 4th. Now considering that JNPR's numbers were...

    Dell is full of it.

    I have a Dell and a Gateway. Both function fine but there is a world of difference in tech support if you ever need it. Dell is the clear winner here. I have been looking at Dell's refurbished line of notebooks. Anyone have any experience with them on these?

    What Was the Bullmarket Like?

    And who can forget the fiasco called KTEL ? Recall theeir CEO sold all his shares at something like $4.22 just days before it went ballistic. A great long, a better short, and a complete joke of a company.

    Unusual activity ?

    A couple days ago someone mentioned the "unusual activity" in the EMC feb. 7.5C. I watched those today and there was a good deal of activity with several 50 & 100 lots going through at the ask. I also THINK I saw a 500K trade go through on the underlying at about 2:58pm. It didn't even phase...

    What Was the Bullmarket Like?

    Trading options in fast market conditions on the likes of Qcom. Had to get 10 points infront of it just to get filled or flat. Traded LU, CSCO, MSFT options only. Best single day gain was a bit over 90K. Worst single day loss right at 22K. Been taking blood pressure meds ever since...

    what happend to my account after PDT rules on stock options.

    OK I'll bite once more. The way I am understanding your post you are saying that during expiration week in October, you had open option positions that IB would not allow you to close. Is that correct ??

    Ms Rand's works are like a fresh breeze for a cluttered mind. The best is, of course, Atlas Shrugged but Anthem is a close second. Do yourself a favor and read them all.

    56K Modem Problem

    Just a suggestion. Sounds as though you are in a similar situation as I am where only dial-up is available. Since you plan to buy another modem anyway, and if you have the space, why not leave both modems installed. I have two just in case one goes TU you can just switch the line in.
