Right you are, i know kl financial went broke shorting them at 160, I think chen recently said he was short - don't know when/if he closed out Message 21181209 - I was short from around 160 until they went over 185 - got stopped out Message 21181801 but lost about 1K which is a lot in my small scottrade account - then someone here told me to sell covered calls on GOOG for 330 in january next year and while I just don't see them getting there - most of the stuff I am hearing on the financial shows is that you sell calls for short term profit - like 1 month or a few months out - selling them 6 months or 1 year out is crazy because extending your time out that far really gives you a lot of risk. Thanks for the advice and protecting us.

GOOG Google cranks up now at 253 up 14 Talk of Google going into S&P 500 ! At Google' recent meeting, three were interesting technoologies, but very few numbers on ad rates, ad numbers, revenue ramps. 1st quarter ad business has doubled... There's lot of anecdotal information from ad buyers and competitors, that Google is doing REALLY well. This could explain why they are trying to hide some numbers and avoid competition. I also expect the numbers are gyrating and ramping, and they don't want expectations to outrun reality.
