Danny,

I agree with you to a point re: hedging. But if you want to buy puts several months out for a stock like CMGI, you are better off being long and taking your chances, IMO. For example, with CMGI at about 227, it will cost you about $52 for a SEP 220 put.

I do that with stocks like CSCO, but just too expensive with CMGI. Probably better off selling OTM covered calls.

How do you hedge the high volatility stocks?

Thanks,
Mike
