Re: "So what percentage of your portfolio have you dedicated to shorting Intel? 10%? 25%? Or have you shorted Intel with all your liquid assets and cover margin reserves by pledging your home?" Dan, if you believe all you say about Intel then you should be the one buying the puts or shorting, instead of Paul. Are you? Personally I'm writing more puts. EP

Re: "So what percentage of your portfolio have you dedicated to shorting Intel? 10%? 25%? Or have you shorted Intel with all your liquid assets and cover margin reserves by pledging your home?" Are you thick, dense, or merely retarded? Paul

re: "Could there be any risk associated with shorting Intel?" Relatively intense. Even companies with no merit run up in this market. inteL has very great merit and the market is prepared to discount more than is really there by a long shot. I, as much a I dislike the company and its practices and its future would not even think of straying close to it as a short. You might want to regard a long position in AMD as a virtual short of inteL. Regards, DARBES
