John, There is a "No Clowns" thread, which is a BEAR thread. Don't know why you think you're wearing out your welcome here. Uhh, what welcome? As a member, everyone is entitled to share thoughts and ideas, that is the purpose of the community, "Interaction". As long as their is civility, respect for others, everyone is welcome to participate. I've discussed with my colleague, here at work, buying puts in SEBL at 119, in BRCM at 225, in CIEN at 150, in YHOO at 140. Unfortunately, I never did. My colleague is an ultra-BULL. Unfortunately, He has been fighting and is fighting margin calls on a daily basis since March. He still owns his CIEN and YHOO. I finally bought puts in the BBH (Jan 160 puts), well it was doing well, rally today, gave back all gains, scared me out and then turned back down. I've been talking puts for 6 weeks. First attempt, not a success. Shorting, or buying puts is not unAmerican. Making money is American, doesn't matter how you do it. OT: Why doesn't OJ drop by here anymore? I have wondered
