How productive!

TO EVERYONE ELSE:

From your reactions to this price shock, it seems to me that many of you don't hedge your positions. It's very easy to do, cheap (depending on the amount of downside protection you want and for how long), and an excellent way to lock in profits after a sustained run-up. There's a FREE, downloadable windows based program on the CBOE website that will project profit/loss graphs of any combination of one stock and four options at a time. The program also contains an excellent tutorial. You can access free option data from another part of the CBOE site. How convenient. Once you're familiar with the program, it takes about 2 minutes to get quotes and construct and graph a hedge. Or to speculate. Whatever.

Here's where to find the program: cboe.com

The INTC option quotes are at:

Paul Re "Learn it the hard way"

I've learned it the hard way once, I don't want to do it again.
Could things get as bad as a 18 P/E x ~3 = 54? I don't want to ride
it down again.

What do you think?
