Louetta's Lore

[peanuts]

Doug, you want to keep 'em coming back to your college Web site? Set up a message board designed specifically for students to brag about how great their sports teams are and to "rag" on their rivals. Banner ads would feature happy hour at the local watering holes, and of course, pizza.

As far as other content, the generalized stuff, the nation-wide stuff you could put on, for example, www(dot)icecollege(dot)com, including links to all the localized sites, with such url's as: ucla(dot)icecollege(dot)com, usc(dot)icecollege(dot)com, umb(dot)icecollege(dot)com (for UMass Boston), etc.

What about Fordham University?


I'm not serious Doug, I like Rob's idea

[IIC]

I like it too...But it's a time thing...Although the message board idea is pretty good...Doug

Rob,
You're a wizard. That's a great idea. I think I'll do that myself with a couple of domains I own. I have to hurry though as I want to beat Doug to the punch with getting it all set up. Thanks again for the great idea.

I have an idea...Why don't about 20 of us set up college oriented sites...Then I'll run a master directory site where each of us has a description and link to our own sites. I could rotate the order of the links and we could all chip in on advertising for the master directory site and it would cost us just 1/20th of what it would cost to advertise individually.

So who's in???

I get University of Alabama and Carnegie Mellon... what the hell, I'll take Fordham University also (just for the name, though)

edit: scratch CMU, I forgot about the lack of athletics there. What are they going to argue about? Who can design a better robot for the moon or Mars?

as a side note, I live fairly close to Mars... and I'm not joking in the least bit

There's a Mars Hill College in NC.

You don't have to do sports...you could do fashion...that's probably my weakest area anyway

What the heck do I know about fashion? No shirt, no shoes, no service... that's about the only thing I know

Put in a bid to buy some QQQQ puts. Think this rally is short lived. Didn't get my puts though (didn't offer enough). Think I'll regret it unless the market comes back late and I can get in (on the short side) at a decent price.

I think you are right...Q's at resistance which I say is 36.76 to 36.79...bounced off the upper BB today and that is the 5th time in a row since April that it could not bust thru...Doug

PS...I don't think there is any significant support till about 35.70

Waltched HSOA throughout the day. This is the old HOM. Earnings after the bell. Bumped along not doing much til about 3:20PM then dropped a full 10%. About 3:50 it started back up and regained about 3/4 of that loss. Kept looking at the puts but the premiums are scary and they expire this Friday. be interesting to see who's right, the people who sold at 3:40 or those who bought it at 3:55. Assuming they were different people.

[IIC]

Well they beat...of course there's only one analyst.

Could the options have been strangled or straddled or whatever the term is?

There are not very many strike choices from what I see though...Doug(IIC)

Hard to say. The problem is beating the spread usually, even if you can find a strategy that looks promising.

Have you looked at the report? The report looked real good an up to $6.93 in the afterhours market. What do you think it will do tomorrow after the report and the afterhours action today? I'm holding a couple thousand shares from the $5.50/5.60 range for the last couple of weeks and through the earnings report this afternoon.

[IIC]

I copied the closing option chains for the next few months...we'll see how they do vs. today's closing asks tomorrow.

I'm not naive enough to think you can go both ways just before earnings and make $$$ in the long run...If it was that easy then everyone would do it...but I've often wondered if there could be some other factors to take into consideration that might raise the odds on a strategy like that???
