Exactly, a lot of these guys traded out of AOL and DELL earlier this year to get into YHOO,RHAT and QCOM type stocks that were "moving". Now all of a sudden they are sitting on large gains they are itching to take but don't want to pay the tax man. And as to options to protect their gains - they don't have clue what a covered call is.
