Hi James, thx for the strategy. Someday I got to learn to hedge with options. Unfortunately, time is not on my side. I am holding my shares, simply b/c I ve no margin to worry about. I guess I am a dreamer. Odds are that this company is fine except that mgt has had a string of bad luck --- it doesn't help if they choose to trip themselves up --- a lesson learned. CNC is an ideal short candidate, I suppose. I am not sure if a short squeeze can be engineered unless there is a powerful rally in the stock. Then the synergistic effects may happen. In light of this, I suppose the recent decline is more like a long squeeze to me --- except for the block trades. Well, someone here mentioned about Tiger gutting <sad!> Maybe some of it from them. At your price, you are probably aok. For me, I will play long term investor for awhile and use this thread to vent :) best, Bosco
