I've learned that as an options trader, it's good to keep the overall big picture in the back of your mind but you can't get caught up in the day to day news. I rely solely on technical analysis and take advantage of the high volatiliy of these semiconductor companies. It is true however that a big sell- off or "crash" could wipe me out, but a bear market does not affect my trading. All stocks obey certain cycles and trends and if you can take advantage of the extremes in those trends you can make bear market money. I'm buying calls again on Monday or Tuesday hopefully with the stock price ~29. KLAC is another one that is ripe for the (long) picking during the first part of next week. Good luck. stockycd
