re: The last bear capitulated Not quite. I watched NVLS get up to 48 and stall, as it has about 5 times this year, and bought a bunch of puts on it at the close, 2002 50s, for 12.9$ and 13$. Got the cash by selling the CSCO calls in my IRA (made a modest profit). Decided to use NVLS rather than AMAT, as NVLS is closer to its 2000 high, and further from its more recent low, than AMAT is, so I figure there is more air in it. I'll think about selling the puts when NVLS goes back to 37.
