Anyone out there short GE? The problem with shorting GE, PG, AHP is the dividend payment. That is a considerable expense for shorts. I earlier bought some puts on PG, the April 67.5's (PGPA), which have so far been eroding in value due to PG's climb and the loss of time-value. But there's still hope: April is far away. While you're mentioning blue chips, don't forget about KO. I made some good money from puts that I purchased the last time Coke was over 70. I'd like to see it hit 70 again very soon, though the puts may cost more this time, due to higher volatility.
