I'm nibbling on puts myself. Bought them on SUNW Friday and today, and the QQQ's this morning. (their strength is unbelievable). Im probably early as I tend to be. Will stay close by the trigger. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bullish CPI report actually result in a market decline. I think traders may sell a strong opening tomorrow. It's not enough to consolidate this crazy naz, we're jumping 30+ points a day. Record high after record high. When it will end is anyone's guess. Just got to be ready for a little. The Naz last October 8 bottomed at 1350, we're now at 3650 in 14 months. The mindless speculative buying of YHOO last week prior to it's S&P inclusion was only exceeded by it's return to the 350 level Friday and today.

Watch SLR tomorrow for an example of how a blue chip momentum stock trading near it's all time high with an 80+ PE can get clipped.

Glenn-- I have not yet shorted AMZN or Yahoo -- I am a little hesitant to look down the barrel of the cannon to see if it is
loaded :) You know these stocks -- they can go off at any time. I played a more 'conservative' bet and bought puts on
IBM.


Yes I understand.
