NCEN and COF called holders along with banks FCB, BAC FBF. This unrequited love affair with the semis is starting to look a little ridiculous. NCEN and COF reiterated in our trading room quite a number of times in the last 2 months but folks still ask "Are you holding, its down $0.50" We also picked up a call options play in NWAC, hopefully that won't be bad and buying all dips in the building sector. To be fair we did try to buy NVLS long today having sold the 40 puts just below 40 already and giving it the benefit of the doubt, but even after sending out detailed intraday charts, we could find nothing positive to find or buy in NVLS. Traders don't give thise terrific stocks a chance and if they are down one down, they are out light a lightening bug, finding their way back to the semiconductors! <g>
