No I haven't tried since I got burned the first time with Q&R. First they told me I was short -- then they changed their minds. Would have been a good play at the close today, I think. So many overpriced stocks with options -- why take the risk of shorting. Shorted Clorox earlier in the year and had to cover for a loss. I like the options better. I know what my total loss could be ahead of time. Good luck. AOL and DELL are on Viagra. Waiting till after earnings for DELL -- may let it run and then get a few leaps. Been burnt too bad by AOL. See the tout on that one today. CFO said it was worth $150 easy. Nice reversal today. I expect things to be more volatile in the near term. Plenty of time to buy some June, July or August puts. No need to rush with 3 - 6 weeks to go. <G>
