<p>Doct, good article. When I see a hedge fund manager pushing his position publicly, I don’t see a strong position.</p>
<p>I don’t remember hedge fund managers coming out so publicly with their postions years ago.</p>
<p>Must be harder to beat the market for these guys. (I might give Icahn a pass. He has a pretty damn good record).</p>
<p>They’re just doing what the mutual fund managers did before they got slapped on the wrist for it and had to stop doing it. Talking their book.</p>
<p>Yeah - he’s pretty much in a class of his own.</p>
<p>I heard that Intel is doing Voluntary Separation Packages from an insider. Better than involuntary but still a bit worrisome.</p>
<p>BCEagle91, thanks.</p>
<p>I looked at intc options and they are just too low…like usual.</p>
<p>Ddd was hit pretty good today. Glad I am not short puts there.</p>
<p>I would like to see a small sell off. I would like to sell some otm spy puts.</p>
<p>I might not do anything today. I have no orders.</p>
<p>JCP will likely lose against Macy’s lawsuit regarding Martha Stewart merchandise. Once a verdict is reached, I think JCP is a buy.</p>
<p>The financial stocks are moving with the news in the Italian election. Apparently if Berlusconi wins, it’s the end of global finance and the world shortly thereafter.</p>
<p>Razorsharp, you better buy jcp. You have had some good calls.</p>
<p>Are you still playing around with GOOG or are you done?</p>
<p>No…I am not done with goog.</p>
<p>I am short a couple of puts. </p>
<p>I want to sell more. I am waiting. </p>
<p>Are you done with goog?</p>
<p>Still holding long. If I take profits, it will be to buy a Google Glass. Only three days to go.</p>
<p>How about those ddd1 3/1 30 puts?</p>
<p>BCEagle91, that would be cool.</p>
<p>Ddd is not doing it for me right now. I am going to be on the road this Thursday and I do
not want to have to pull off to the side of the road multiple times to ckeck on ddd because
Ddd is trading all over the place.</p>

<p>looking like the cr** that was going on with aapl</p>
<p>Vapor ware is back. Profit margins in this space are going down. It is a cut throat game. </p>
<p>Good for consumers.</p>
<p>Bought a small position in 3/16 IAU 14 calls for 1.5</p>
<p>Well, because I am generous, and my short pos in gold is long term, I wish you good luck in gold.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wish them luck. Isn’t motorola google’s phone? </p>
<p>[FixYa:</a> Apple’s phones 3 times more reliable than Samsung’s - Apple 2.0 -Fortune Tech](<a href=“http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/02/23/apple-samsung-reliability-fixya/]FixYa:”>http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/02/23/apple-samsung-reliability-fixya/)</p>
<p>Google makes money on the ads on the phones, not the phone hardware. So they benefit when there are more phones out there whether they are cheap or expensive.</p>
<p>Google owns Motorola but it doesn’t appear that they’re really doing much with them.</p>
<p>Firefox is launching a phone around summer and they have around 16 carriers that have signed on. I think that the attraction on the Firefox phone is that it’s really cheap. I may get one for my wife or son just because I used to work on Firefox.</p>
