Hi bear, YIKES that TBT is a night mare. There were plenty barfing back in October - look at that volume spike. I've lightened up since December. Sold out a short term gain on a bunch of Cohu in the December run up @11.60-11.85. Didn't scalp much but lightened up. Instead of owning the stock I sold some puts 10's, which will expire in February, March, and July If put to me I'll buy them in the low 9's.That would be about $2.50 - $2.75 lower than where I sold them. Interesting that you can make 2 - 3 times the dividend by selling puts for 7 months out? Had quite a few puts expire in December and have not resold. I've been awaiting some stronger selloffs -like we saw in last October - may be in the cards for February. The only bad part of the plan is if Cohu has good earnings and goes up to the 14-15b range. If that's bad I'll be a happy camper.<smile> Always good to hear your reads bear. Thanks Bob
