Hi Linda! Yes, please relieve the boredom around here!! You stated: << But, if you are going to jump on the momentum of the internet stocks that have little to no earnings...BUYER BEWARE! >> Ahh.. true, but wasn't IOMG the same way way back when? The stock moved 8x before it posted a penny of earnings. One always has to be careful. But safe = boring, right? A little hedging against a very risky position goes a long way! Also, you said this: << When their time comes to fall, I'll not be waking up in the morning thinking: DOWN 25 points?! >> Yes, but didn't this just happen to you with IOM? CPQ? See, it doesn't matter. CPQ has lost 1/3 of it's value in one week. That's like AMZN losing 30 points. Stocks fall when they miss expectations. If there's no expectations, then what? If IOM was trading at 15 before earnings, then posted .13 vs. expected .01, what would have happened to the stock? It would be at 45 today. kp
