You've got to be kidding. An earnings warning from YHOO? YHOO is set to break out to the upside right after options expiration. Fasten your seatbelt, YHOO's going to the moon! Last week it was AOL, this week it was DELL, which shorts are going to get squeezed next week? Yahoooooooooo!

>>March 50-55 puts are an excellent strategy here---timing is right. Let me get this straight. You're recommending that we buy March 50 puts? Why is that? There has to be more behind buying options with twenty days' life that are 20%+ out of the money than "common correction rule of thumb". We just had a 40% correction in October. Why another? Good luck with your puts. Let us know how you do. Helluva way to run a bank. :)

Bankceo, I was looking for a bear on this thread. Did I find one? I've been wondering why this thing keeps going up? Basically it just another provider and we have more of them everyday it seems? I would like to point out why I think this is not the time to short. All they ever talk about is the "money pouring into Index Funds." If that is correct and I believe it is, then some of the money that is not going into Index Funds, is going into let's say, "foolish funds." I say foolish because people look at it as a small percentage of there total investment and invest it the same way. RISKY! That in turn brings us back to what they may put this expendable and probable loss of capital into? THE INTERNET and funds that invest in it. Right now is a poor time to be shorting, because of the huge sums of capital from bonuses and other sources. (most people do not know what the internet is, but they hear a lot about it and think it is the future?) Is it? I think so. Do we need Yahoo's, probably not? But beginners do! I'd be more apt to wait for an unconfirmed high or maybe a "fool's day special" Regards, Ken
