Porter, those puts you had would have worked today. Did you have them? I'm hoping you did. Hopefully that $39 grand was opportunity missed and not principal. I quite frankly would have a hard time sleeping with that hit.

That article in the Globe may have had an impact. Huge cap and no revenues. So why is everyone buying? More and more companies are buying into this technology which in theory will have an incredible impact. Its the kind of stock that would sit nicely for 10 or 20 years in an RRSP.

The only way somebody could play this stock is through options. How else could you afford it?

Porter, it's obvious that those buying BLD haven't fully understood the many companies in the fuel cell market... many of whom are working directly with NASA. Get those shorts back on...

PS: what is the best formula for prediction/regression of optionable stocks?

Ouch, I thought the incident I had with that mining company was bad, but it pales somewhat.

Hedging must be very difficult. I never believed that being a market specialist was easy. Actually, sometimes I wonder how you sleep nights, or even weekends just anticipating the market open if sentiment is going in the wrong direction to your position. I think it might give me an ulcer.
