OT: Sean, re investment boycott, I think your plan might actually help the target company. The idea of selling short is to sell high, and then buy low. Selling the stock when it's high might hurt it, but buying it if it's low later on could help it more. The idea of buying puts is to be able to sell a stock for more than the market price, and again that would only help it. I don't know why shorting is supposed to be nasty - I guess because you want the stock to go down, but wishing doesn't make it so, otherwise the market would go up forever <g> Re legality, obviously you personally can buy and sell whatever you want, but I think it's illegal to publicly call for an investment boycott of a particular company. I bet you could get away with it though <ggg> Fun-da-Mental
