Walt: I think you need to take a pill and cool down! You are all over the place this evening preaching doom and gloom.

I am not sure why you felt it necessary to go out and buy a book given all the tradingyou claim to have done in the past and all the free advice you have offered on SI. But it seems that having read a book you are now a convert to the author's thesis (and no I don't want to hear it again!) You sound a bit like the early Christians or maybe modern-day Scientologist.

I am far from an expert on internuts but in the short time I have been observing them it is clear that they have seasons, and that there is internal rotation among them, and that periods of rapid advancement are followed by short sharp shake-outs. You can hold through it all - and some say this pays off best - or you can try to time the dips and spikes.

NETP is vulnerable but not as vulnerable as most. It is near the bottom in valuation in its sector: it has shown strength not only today but in the last minor shake out (during which it went from $15 to about $28):its fundamentals have improved substantially over what they were when it was an IPO.

Seriously Walt, I do not. To be honest with you, I've held several stocks that began trading options. If anything, it was bullish and gave the stock added exposure.
Just look at the great companies that have options....
Am truly puzzled with your assessment.
I can think of things that would take a stock down, but I'm afraid trading options isn't one of them. jmo
