I have three Excite puts, but I cant say that my options trades have done much for me. Better to be long when the trend is up. But I'm getting ready to pounce, I've always intended to do some more putting in April, for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is the chance for market's overseas, namely Japan and SEA to take some hits. Now if we get the DOW to 9 or 10,000 by April I'd probably have to go totally bearish--my puts would go from a couple percent of my holdings to maybe ten percent. Anyway, seems that there are plenty of things to bet against in Internet area, here is a link to get you started fnews.yahoo.com Yahoo looks the most overvalued, but I can't bear to buy puts when it is my starting page!
