zsteve,

I am not worried for You. I am just curious how you make your money on those declining poooooots. Did you sell them or just hold on an am still waiting for expiration?

Me a forever bull???? nah I have shorted this stock as well as bought puts over time. Lately I occasionally jump in with an equity purchase or maybe some calls....but....I sell within the same day or next...and most of the time at a profit.<vbg>

There was once a time last summer/early fall where I just bought a bunch of calls and held for quite a while for a nice profit, but buy and hold with this trading sardine is rare at best. That is why I don't understand the logic and strategy of most "forever bears" on this thread. I think they are lucky if they break even on their silly plays but in reality I think they are doomed to short term capital losses that show up year after year on their 1040's.:-)

Good luck trading
DavidG

PS: Remember nobody ever got hurt taking a profit!
