>>Bought November 40 puts today at $.25.

Jonathan, It took the worst global market meltdown in twenty years to get Yahoo below 40 last week, for, what, a total of one hour?

If you're not expecting another (worse) meltdown this month, I think your money would be better given to charity.

=====================================================================

William, the November 40's are looking pretty good at this point. The last trade was at $1.0625. I don't say this to gloat (well maybe a little... I'm human) but rather to point out the value of purchasing long-shot options with short expirations as a speculative play.
