William, I certainly don't intend to shortchange charity, but for 25 cents per contract I will make this speculation. More importantly, Yahoo doesn't have to drop below $40 for this contract to move. By the way, I respect your views on Yahoo... I think you're paying too much for its stock... but I value your insight no less. Jon

>>Bought November 40 puts today at $.25. Jonathan, It took the worst global market meltdown in twenty years to get Yahoo below 40 last week, for, what, a total of one hour? If you're not expecting another (worse) meltdown this month, I think your money would be better given to charity. ===================================================================== William, the November 40's are looking pretty good at this point. The last trade was at $1.0625. I don't say this to gloat (well maybe a little... I'm human) but rather to point out the value of purchasing long-shot options with short expirations as a speculative play. Jon
