Anyone follow Bernie Schaeffer - his recent comments about folks selling call options for ridiculously low premiums.
He asks: Will these trifling premiums protect them from the consequences of a major market plunge? Not enough to even mention !

I tend to agree - these premiums (due to low volatility) are not worth the effort) And the low volatility will be the norm)

Comments ?

hi Mike Buckley,

A friend of mine believes that opera singers have over developed voices. An over developed voice is an oxymoron as is a portfolio overweighted in tech stocks

Mike Buckley, your argument makes me laugh. what the heck does an "over-developed voice" have to do with being overweight techs? i will go into some discussion on asset allocation in replying to Dan Duchardt, and you may want to look at that in the context of a 100% tech portfolio.
