I'm beginning to wonder whether the folks at the Fool may be doing as much damage as good.

Changing their tune so much so fast (I don't remember the details of the first piece, but seem to recall it being relatively positive) doesn't exactly increase their credibility. Add this to the fact that they seem to ignore the very real advantages of physical stores over ecommerce.

I don't know, it just makes me wonder about their general message of individuals investing in not so diversified stock portfolios ... especially with such a volatile and by many measures inflated market.

Has been an interesting week for me so far. First I got impatient and wrote some Mar 20 covered calls on my BGP holdings Tuesday afternoon. When I checked the >20 price after close I wanted to kick myself, but now it looks like that may have been a decent move.
