Buying open options on a stock like this is utterly ridiculous.

Maybe, but I'm glad I hold an Oct YHOO 120 put, bought at $8. I'm effectively short 100 shares at 120, which would have costed $12,000. Except it only costed me $800. True, it's a risk I could still lose the $800, but as long as I close at the right time and price, the trade will be a good one. My only question right now is not what the price will be a year from now, but what will be the lowest price YHOO go between now and Oct 16th? I'm looking for next support. Have to check the charts yet tonight.
