VOOP...I can't offer much advise...Options purchases as Insurance is certainly one way to "protect" yourself...However, they are a little spendy themselves....I think the best protection is to know your company to begin with, that's your first protection...Then I would say don't get too far into debt with margin, and if you are in margin don't be afraid to reduce your most recent margin positions if the price moves back too far toward that margin purchase...I'm not sure you want to be in a negative position with margin.....If you're not margined at all I would not sell ANY COMPANY whose FUNDAMENTALS are still on track, even if the Market may pull the price back.

Maybe other posters here can help you with Options as Insurance, with strike prices and months out if you think you want that type of insurance.

Regards, George
