<<Or maybe the past 2 weeks have been too tough on him and he has to lash out at anyone who is profiting on the other side.>> Howard, just as you have pointed out that you own puts, I have pointed out that I have owned Yahoo for quite a while. I could see quite a bit more downside and not be out any money. My profits would be gone but I would not lose money. That is where I think many people make a mistake. Too many folks look at their portfolio and determine up or down based on last months value. As a result they make emotional trades that are based on market timing. I believe that this type of action is the road to hell. People must buy what they can afford based on the company, not the stock and hold it! I don't ever margin stocks like yahoo. I do margin stocks like msft, dell, intc ect. I also never buy stocks like Yahoo in a self directed IRA. Self Directed can become self destructed too fast with speculative issues.
