Good article on options Bob. I took the plunge and sold some juicy October calls on YHOO last week. I also picked up some SOX puts this afternoon in anticipation of a sell-off in INTC after their earnings report. The earnings were good, but much of the forward looking discussion leaves alot to be desired in some analysts minds. The after-hours trades bear out that sentiment. World markets are down right now along with futures, but not in a big way (the night is young...), here are the numbers:
