PAL Did you see the premiums on ENMD puts? Almost would rather write the puts, regardless of what I thought the stock would do. AOL's stock's fall is only a matter of time. I would stay away from the near term puts, however--with all the hype it may be too much time. A few leaps in it and some of the other internet tulips seems like the way to go. Some will expire worthless barring a major crash but there is no way all these companies will succeed to the extent of justifying their valuations. How many search engines do you use, and how much money have you spent there<g>?

PAL 1. biotech firms have secondary offerings all the time. They don't have any earnings, so thats how they survive. There's a reflexive relationship beetween biotech stock prices and the co's financial health; ie the higher the stock price the more likely it'll survive because it can do these offerings and the more they can spend on research. 2. I'm sure ENMD will have press releases all the time. 3. Why can say that just because it surged a ridiculous amount that it won't go even more insane in the future. 4. Do they have options?
