I meant 200 - 30 more to go. I'm neither negative on the market, nor on CMGI - esp with a possible split looming ahead. I think we'll do great in Dec and Jan like always. So if I was a LT investor, I'd let it ride the market. My concerns were more about the ST horizon - the stock has run up, may run up some more, but will eventually retrace. From where ? I don't know. So best not to be too greedy and keep some PO. But of course you don't want to pay tax this year, so let them ride - but I'd lock some profits using puts sometime in the near future - when my objective is reached. I wouldn't feel comfortable advising on any particular contract - the choice depends on your investment profile and investment objectives. However, if you're invested with profits, I would recommend buying some insurance thru ATM or slightly ITM puts whenever you reach a level where you worry too much about your profits. The ITM puts generally cost very little and you may have to write off the money - but hey, the insurance is for your protection and doesn't come free. Its okey to let someone else make a little bit of money once you've made yours....and you would still have your calls !!!!
