Kip. re:put selling. Old news. I have been also thinking that it should be outlawed as well. Talk about insider trading. These guys know what news is coming up and out near term. The ability to sell puts/buy calls ahead of news is the definition of fraud. (using info not available to the general public for a benefit. One day it'll be a scandal.

Kip,

In this months Worth magazine one of the "stocks to consider" is INTC. The analyst has a target of $ 88 and writes " Market too worried about antitrust probe and Merced product delay" he expects "stronger earnings in two to three years". I wonder what it would take to get this genius to issue a hold or sell recomendation.
