The problems with that are many fold.

First, The ride down will be rocky because of hype from underwriters. As soon as it looks like its going to fold, they start to hype it. If you short the stock you're ok but if you're trying to buy puts you may be killed.

Secondly, no smart option player bets against the market. Riding the train in the direction it is going is soooo much easier than picking the dogs that won't be swept along in the current of investor enthusiasm for a market that seemingly can't go down.

This stock is so close to the buy point I'll wait for it to get there. In the mean time there are hundreds of Lucents, Dells, AOLs,PFEs, etc to take to the bank almost daily.

Patience, and stack the odds in your favor
