As I said, I had been selling just about everything I have on Monday, some more on Tuesday ... and buying puts on the index. I still had 1,000 COHU that I asked 17 5/8 monday that didn't get filled. Last night at 3am I decided to bail on the rest irrespective ... real panic selling which is usually not my style.

The bid was 16 1/4 (2400 shares) and ask was 17 (100). Rather than pressing my luck (like I did on Monday) I hit the bid. And I'm out.

Minutes later the bid was 15 5/8 and the ask was 16 1/2, so someone took out the rest of the bid. Now trading 15 1/2 - 15 5/8. The worst is yet to come, but long term this is a great company.

I'm only holding the stuff thats hit rock bottom (cash on hand). Feeling hugely pessimistic and wishing I bought more puts as they have doubled since Monday, and will double again before the month is over IMHO.

Keep selling cars ...

Good luck,

** David
