Thx, Druss...will do.

LOL! I must say that I think some on this board have rather 'thin skins' -- especially as alleged professional traders -- with my confrontational approach to questioning the 'sincerity' of their/your credentials. It's the journalism in me. LOL.

I spent two years on Yahoo, okay? Might give you some idea of the origins of my skepticism/cynicism about 'anonymous investors in Cyberspace' ...

;)

For a volatile stock like SDLI, it's much safer to buy puts out of the money. You can buy a few contracts for $10-15 and profit handsomely if SDLI tanks like it did; but your downside is limited if SDLI turns around and goes back to 450.

I had SDLI puts as a hedge for long shares. I also sold covered calls. Didn't cover all the damage from the latest drop but I cushioned most of it.
